Our ESOP Journey: TechFlow

 

How Employee Ownership Reinvigorated a GovCon Leader

A product of the 90s dot-com boom, TechFlow consistently beat the odds and cemented its status as a top consultancy. But after two decades of steady growth, founder Robert Baum feared his company had plateaued. To compete in the ever-changing field of government consulting, TechFlow needed to forge a new path—one that empowered its entire team to pull in the same direction.

In 2016, Baum and his company completed an employee ownership transition. TechFlow hasn't looked back. In the decade since its ESOP sale, the company has consistently been recognized as one of America's fastest growing tech companies and as an Inc. Best Workplace.

In an extended interview with CSG's Richard Harmon, Baum describes this remarkable ESOP journey and discusses the benefits and challenges of leading an employee-owned company.
