3‑Hour Deep Dive of The Life Cycle of an MSP: Build, Scale, Succeed​

Over three fast moving hours, you’ll get:

  • First Hour: Replace Yourself as CEO by Julie Thiel & Charlene Ignacio

  • 2nd Hour: MSP & MSSP Industry Expert Panel Discussion (NO FLUFF aloud)

  • 3rd Hour: No EGO Fireside Chat

Most MSP owners start because they love technology, cybersecurity and innovation. But running a successful IT business requires an entirely different playbook. Between shifting market dynamics, hiring struggles, and the daily grind, it’s easy to get stuck working in your business rather than on it.

Questions or directions, call Charlene Ignacio, CEO FORNIX at (386) 538-3278.
