Dominic Scotti
CEO, Eagle Forest Products
What traits are most important to you when hiring for, or promoting individuals within, your company?
An individual successfully dealing with adversity is becoming less and less common. Mistakes are made and issues are inevitable, even if they are out of your control. How an individual can respond when thrown into a less-than-ideal situation will always stand out. Learning from mistakes while fixing those that arise is extremely important to us.
What is one of the biggest challenges you have experienced in the current business climate and how have you best managed through it?
One of the biggest challenges for our industry in the current business climate has been supply chain disruptions. Delays in nearly every step of the process have grown exponentially and tasked us with producing new and unique case-by-case solutions. Our team has been determined and inventive throughout this process, ensuring we thrive and guarantee customer satisfaction and on-time deliveries.
What does your business do to ensure it retains relevance and sustainability long into the future?
We take great pride in putting our customers first since our inception in 1988. We take our business integrity very seriously, as we represent our company and our family. Now, in our third generation of the family-owned business, our unique business model has proven to compete and succeed in the industry while also producing low overhead and a lack of red tape. As far as sustainability, we ensure that we work with lumber producers who have practices in place to regenerate our forests and keep our climate healthy.
