As we exit 2019, a wide variety of issues may confront our fairly healthy economy in 2020 and 2021. Given the complex concerns facing Colorado, the U.S, and the world, there are a range of possible outcomes. From tariffs and additional policy issues to the economic factors shaping a narrative around potential recession, there is a heightened level of uncertainty as we look forward. Join our panel of experienced executives to hear what's top on their mind and how they are working to position their companies for success in 2020 and beyond.  By delving into a range of timely topics and focus areas, you'll leave with valuable ideas and context to take back to your own organizations.

Over the past 30 years, Nite Ize has grown from a cabin-based startup to distributing 500+ products worldwide.

Fransen Pittman
CEO

John grew up in Hammond, Louisiana, a charming southern town located between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. To escape the summer heat his family would travel to Colorado to camp at the Maroon Bells every August. He grew to love Colorado on these trips, and left Louisiana to attend Colorado State University where he earned his BS in Economics and met his wife Betty. After graduation, they were married before John headed to Norman Oklahoma where he earned his MS in Civil Engineering. In 1985, they moved back to Colorado, started our family and John began work at Robert E McKee Construction. In 1994 Von Fransen and John started Fransen Pittman Construction (FP). Watching FP grow into one of Colorado’s top-ranked construction companies has been a privilege and truly exciting!
