For some it's about global conquest. For others it's just good business
sense. No matter what the reason, more and more Ann Arbor area companies
are realizing that they need to do business outside state and US
borders.
But how to remain local? How do you build a company that
understands the advantages and challenges of the global marketplace but
chooses to remain here, in a state struggling to develop its future
self?
Ted Dacko was brought on as president and CEO for fledgling
start-up
Healthmedia,
patiently help turn into an extremely successful health and Internet
company and then witnessed its purchase by corporate giant Johnson &
Johnson - all while doing business outside Michigan. In fact, for much
of its existence, Healthmedia had no clients in the Mitten.
Ted

here but finding business success
there.
