SuiteConnect: Bakers, Microlenders and Warriors Manage Growth
Posted by Barney Beal, Content Director
The story of Andrew Ly, a Vietnamese refugee who fled a Malaysian camp and was robbed at sea by pirates before ultimately arriving in the United States, buying a bakery with his brothers and building a successful business provided a successful blueprint for managing growth during SuiteConnect 2018 in San Francisco – except for the pirates.
Ly’s business, SugarBowl Bakery, grew to become more than just a bakery and cafe, but also now a large national manufacturer with two plants, five warehouses and two third party logistics providers, selling half a billion cookies per year. Representatives from SugarBowl Bakery were joined on the stage by two other successful organizations, including Kiva, a nonprofit that lets people provide small loans to entrepreneurs via the internet and the Golden State Warriors, winner of three of the past four NBA championships.
