This week, we speak with Nick Bradley. Nick is an experienced entrepreneur, CEO, and investor in SMEs. Nick now partners with business owners to scale and eventually exit their businesses.
Nick helped grow Getty Images via acquisition in the early 2000s and more recently scaled Ascend Learning, as CEO, to an eventual sale to Blackstone PE. Nick also hosts Scale Up With Nick Bradley, which is one of the top-ranking business podcasts in the UK.
In this episode, Nick shares some fascinating stories on how he scaled and exited some fantastic businesses [including a couple of $Bn exits to PE], how he would partner with PE as an operational turnaround expert, his thoughts on SME acquisitions in both the UK and the US, and how he partners with businesses of different sizes to scale and exit. Enjoy this excellent episode!
