"It was 2009 and I was COO/President and co-founder of TradeGlobal, To spur our growth we partnered with Apax as they invested in our company and our future. About 18 months into our journey as partners, due to factors outside of our control, we faced a very difficult decision that had the potential to take down our company foreever. The easy way for Apax would have led us down that path but Mitch, Seth and all involved at Apax truly lived their values and made the tough call and did the right thing. As a result of living their core values, Tradeglobal not only survived but grew and expanded globally and had an extremely successful exit. The business was ultimately sold to a strategic partner in 2016 after an amazing seventeen-year run. I know first hand, perhaps better than anyone, what it means when we say "together we choose right over easy, everyday!"
