Sandbox Story - Interview of Jim McGrann

An IT guy by training, Jim McGrann moved into the eye care space with Marchon, then bringing in OfficeMate, and ultimately becoming the Global CEO of VSP.  Now as part of a “next generation” buying group, called Healthy Eyes Advantage, Jim continues his pursuit of supporting eye care businesses.  Jim is another “first-born” guest on Sandbox Stories, telling the story of his large family and his dad working seven days a week as he grew up.  Learn about his involvement as a business leader in a CEO Council, and a time when he got called out by Sen. Elizabeth Warren in a group meeting.  Jim is the first non-ECP who has been a guest on Sandbox Stories, and it’s worth a listen!
