In this episode, Omar Abdullah chats with Akash Amin, Director at MorrisAnderson. Akash started his career in forensic accounting consulting where he worked with fortune 100 clients including Chipotle and Disney. Looking for a change, he ventured into M&A during the downturn of the oil market in 2015-2016. This work led Akash to start his own consulting firm serving startup companies in Austin. After selling this business, he zigged once more with a desire to work with larger clients at MorrisAnderson. 

You wouldn’t think a conversation about balance sheets and forecasts would lead to a warm discussion about people. But, turning around a business is most impactful with in-tune senior management. As with many industries, successful outcomes are fostered by a strong connected culture.

In this Episode of Outsourced, Omar and guest of the show Anthony Lancianese make the case for keeping the human touch in tech automation. While data certainly provides insights to make decisions, leaning on AI too heavily can stifle creativity. Collectively, we’re missing the human!

Anthony is currently the Director of Sales and Marketing with New Leaf Homes. But his journey didn’t start there! His diverse background in a variety of positions gives him a unique perspective as a leader. From early beginnings as a home health equipment delivery driver to starting and selling businesses, he attributes his success to experiencing each rug of the ladder.

Anthony has three key takeaways. Lead with curiosity. Lower your shield. And don’t look to a spreadsheet for your answer to a human problem.
