After a 30-year career providing guidance in process and Asset Performance Management Improvement, and a little more than a decade in consulting, Larry Olson ad an ambition to open his own consulting firm. He did just that in 2010 when he launched Nexus Global Business Solutions out of his house.
From humble beginnings, the Strategy, Operations and IT firm with a focus in the oil and gas industry, grew into one, then multiple, offices. Olson's relationships in the sector fueled much of the firm's early growth, he says, internally and externally.
Initially, he did most of the initial hiring but as the firm became more established, he brought on a Human Resource manager to handle the recruiting and hiring. On the client side, the growth came from relationships Olson had with some key players in the space, including Royal Dutch Shell, Maersk and Hess, to name a few.
