Reed Colley: I love solving problems and I've not always been the best at implementing solutions.

Brooke,

I thought I would add a couple of thoughts… When I joined Black Diamond in 2009 I found a place that was filled with unabashed idealists. The “do something great” mantra and true passion for serving advisors is as palpable today as it was then. Reed’s influence, vision and fingerprints are all over this place right down to the quotes on the walls and the Joe Montana jersey framed in our common area (he may reclaim that soon!). The team and I had a good laugh at the “don’t like to implement” and how he cast himself as not in the details of running a business. Reed has a rare combination of capability and humility… He is all about the details! He was renowned for working on problems late into the night and working through the code himself, interviewing every person who joined the team for culture fit as well as thinking through the financial structure of the business. He is an incredibly capable business leader and I feel fortunate to continue to work with him regularly. We talk just about every week and he always has a fresh perspective and lots of insightful questions. The team and I are humbled and honored to keep his vision for this business alive and feel very well prepared to help bring the best of Advent to advisors.

Dave,

Those are some good details that a journalist can appreciate. I was willing to write down Reed’s self-deprecating comments knowing that what he accomplished: launching, building and selling Black Diamond in a few short years — thundered loudly enough that readers would have a pretty good sense of his message.

This line — especially the reference to night — speaks to a person with some Steve Jobs running through his veins:

He was renowned for working on problems late into the night and working through the code himself, interviewing every person who joined the team for culture fit as well as thinking through the financial structure of the business.

thanks,

Brooke
