Epic Business Strategies Opens Office in Milwaukee
November 20, 2019 – Executive search firms large and small continue to expand to new areas in an effort to better serve their clients. Recently, executive recruiters Epic Business Strategies expanded with the opening of its second office in Milwaukee, WI.
Headquartered in Naples, FL, Epic Business Strategies said that it decided to add the second location to better serve its many clients based in the Midwest.
Chicago is the economic and financial center of the Midwest, and has the third largest gross metropolitan product in the U.S. Chicago was named the fourth most important business center in the world in the MasterCard Worldwide Centers of Commerce Index. Outside of Chicago, many other Midwest cities are host to financial centers as well. Federal Reserve Bank districts are also headquartered at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, and Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
In addition, agriculture is one of the biggest drivers of local economies in the Midwest, accounting for billions of dollars worth of exports and thousands of jobs. The area consists of some of the richest farming land in the world. Midwestern states also lead the nation in other agricultural commodities, including pork (Iowa), beef and veal (Nebraska), dairy (Wisconsin) and chicken eggs (Iowa).

He previously held several industrial executive leadership positions during the first 30 years of his career with companies such as Honeywell, Ferguson Enterprises, SPS Technologies and Pacific Scientific. After leaving a position of president for a Milwaukee-based manufacturer, Mr. Franklin decided to enter the executive recruiting industry and formed Epic Business Strategies.
“I recommend Doug Franklin as a superb resource to the recruiting community, both employers and job seekers,” said Jerome May, fellow at Torrey Pines Research. “He does a superb job of capturing essential qualities and discerning the needs of clients, and communicating his results in a timely and highly professional manner.
