Ben Walker is the COO for Go Carrera, a digital ecosystem that pairs flooring installers with flooring dealers. He left corporate America in 2008, “That was a great deal until it wasn’t,” for an opportunity to move to Kansas City and grow a floor contracting company.
“I've had a lot of entrepreneurial instincts for a long time, and I'm really proud of some of the things we accomplished there,” said Walker. “In year two, we increased our revenue six times over year one and year three, three times over year two and year four, two times over year three. We ended up, by the time I left, with 25 employees.”
