What is your company culture like?
We are always honest with each other and hold each other accountable. I tell my employees it’s alright to politely challenge me and other employees if they think something isn’t right. I encourage people to check their egos at the door. Nelson Mandella said “I never lose. I either win or I learn.” That’s what I try to install at OGPS. We might go over budget or make a costly mistake. But so long as we learn from it it’s not a loss.

Curious, open-minded, trustworthy, willing and eager to learn, tolerate ambiguity well
What makes Columbus such a great place to do business?
The cost of living is relatively low. People tend to be more educated and open-minded. We have a great transportation and logistics infrastructure. We have ready access to a talented labor pool.
