In this episode of The Advisory Board Podcast, we sit down with Adam Povlitz, the dynamic CEO of Anago Cleaning Systems.

A second-generation leader, Adam gives us an insider's view of the journey from a childhood surrounded by the family business to steering Anago Cleaning Systems to new heights.Anago Cleaning Systems, established in 1989, boasts 1800 unit franchises and has secured its place at #36 on Entrepreneur 500. Adam, a second-degree Blackbelt in Tae Kwan Do, introduces us to the three-tier franchise system comprising the Corporate office, Master Franchise, and Unit franchise.

We explore Adam's unconventional path to the CEO role, starting at the bottom in 2009 after leaving a high-flying finance job. Adam's experience, including emptying diaper pails in a daycare, was a humbling journey that allowed him to understand the business from every angle.Succession planning was always on the horizon, and Adam shares his father's sage advice: gain experience outside the family business and earn your stripes in corporate America.

The transition to leadership came in 2015 when Adam became the CEO, bringing both challenges and growth opportunities.During the challenging times of COVID, Anago Cleaning Systems pivoted from a bottom-line expense to an essential service. Adam details the decision-making process, the importance of team collaboration, and the realization that he was wearing all the C-Suite hats simultaneously.

The hardest part of this transformative journey, according to Adam, was realizing that he couldn't do it all.

Transitioning from a lifestyle business to a true enterprise brought unique challenges, especially in navigating technology and time constraints.However, the results speak volumes.

In just 18 months, Adam hired six executives and successfully reached a $100 million goal. Now, with eyes set on the future, the plan is to hit $300 million by 2028.

Adam leaves us with words of wisdom: Build everything to scale, as if you're aiming to be a big enterprise.

This episode is a goldmine for aspiring leaders and entrepreneurs, offering insights into leadership, growth strategies, and the power of scaling for success.Tune in to learn from Adam Povlitz's journey and discover the keys to transforming a business into a true enterprise!
