Family Business Connection

We welcome Lorie Pope, co-president of Nexus Innovations, a management and technology solutions family business that empowers clients for success through strategic solutions. Though Nexus is an expert of innovation in the everchanging technology industry, in this conversation we hear how they are a champion of culture.

In our conversation with Lorie, you’ll hear how their technology business is all about relationships. Excellence in technology is the baseline; the defining component of Nexus is their culture. Lorie discusses how the culture trickles down from the owners to the employees, how it’s taken shape as her passion project, and how it effects their succession plan.

Want to learn how you can tangibly influence your family business’ culture? Join an Affinity Peer Group! Lorie’s son and second generation leader, Jordan Pope, has been part of his group for several years and has helped him grow as a leader and helped Nexus’ culture grow. Affinity Peer Groups or APGs are small, highly confidential discussion groups that meet regularly, allowing members to share experiences and learn from each other. Through confidential discussion led by trained facilitators, you can hear how other family businesses have tackled challenges including culture challenges like how to improve employee retention and how the upcoming generations can gain employees’ trust. Learn more about APGs and how you could benefit from joining your peers: fambus.org/APG

Family Business Connection will be 10 episodes featuring stories from all kinds of family business leaders that guide the family businesses to thrive for generations.
