On this episode, Elio interviews Ira Sharfin, CEO of Continental Office. Born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in the Berwick neighborhood of Columbus, exhibited entrepreneurial tendencies by selling candy, lawn care and painting services to neighbors. He pursued higher education but admittedly leaned into the party scene and had to create his own job opportunities. Rising through the ranks and eventually exiting the corporate world as a Partner at IBM, Ira acquired Continental Office in 2005 and has built the company into one of the leading providers of creative office solutions in the U.S.
Ira discusses how his grandfather inspired him to become an entrepreneur, how the pandemic change the world of work and what it takes to thrive as a leader in the workplace of tomorrow.
