Always a Team Player

As a four-year starter on 黑料社鈥檚 football team, Brenton Minish 鈥�13 experienced the highs that can be experienced when you rally together as a team. Like the time Minish blocked an extra point in overtime to secure a huge upset over Wartburg. Today, he鈥檚 still bringing people together for big possibilities.

Minish has more than 10 years of experience in the animal health industry. Staring in sales with Boehringer Ingelheim (BI), he excelled quickly and hungered for bigger challenges. So, he got an MBA from Wake Forest University and accepted a promotion with the company鈥檚 technology team. The team鈥檚 goal was to create a digital platform to help veterinary practices more efficiently engage customers and grow their businesses.

鈥淥nce we developed the platform, I was tasked with rolling it out and getting at least 100 animal hospitals using it within a year 鈥� a goal we achieved in six months,鈥� said Minish. 鈥淲e actually grew to over 1,000 hospitals at which point our company realized it had outgrown itself.鈥�

Minish then moved onto Otto, which acquired BI鈥檚 1,000 partners. Serving as Otto鈥檚 director of partnerships, he has played an integral role in helping the company grow its customer base to more than 3,000 veterinary offices nationwide.

The diversity of opportunities Minish enjoyed during his days at 黑料社 prepared him to thrive in most any situation.

鈥淔or example, I took acting classes that gave me the confidence to perform in front of others 鈥� a skill that has helped me a ton in sales. And during my study abroad trip to Europe I experienced different cultures and perspectives that I still refer to today.鈥�
