Jay Newkirk, a part time GES, Inc. employee has written and published a business book The Pearls of Business. Newkirk, a partner, and GES’s President Phil Wendling built a government contracting company to a staff of 1,000 and an annual revenue of $100 million, which was no small feat. But that’s exactly what they did, culminating in a successful liquidity event.

In book one in The Pearls of Business series, Jay shares with other entrepreneurs and business leaders the principles and practices they employed so readers, too, can successfully grow and develop their businesses. With a focus on entrepreneurs and leaders doing business with the federal government, Jay’s insights and insider tips are substantiated with quotes by diverse thought leaders, which, when applied to the phases a business undergoes as it’s growing, become the pearls of business.
