Diving deep into the world of managed service providers (MSPs), this episode features a chat with Ramsey Sahyoun, co-founder of Evergreen, a holding company that’s making waves in the industry. With a revenue exceeding a billion dollars, Evergreen isn’t your typical MSP – it operates under a decentralized model, owning over a hundred individual platforms. Ramsey shares his journey from a golf-obsessed college kid to a private equity guru, and ultimately to a leader in the MSP space. This episode explores the strategies that set Evergreen apart, including their unique approach to acquisitions (independence), the importance of nurturing individual company cultures, and how to scale without losing the essence of what makes each MSP tick. If you’re an MSP owner or thinking of diving into this industry, there are some golden nuggets in here that could change the way you think about growth and success.
