Frank was invaluable as coach, business educator, and facilitator in planning and conducting the strategic planning sessions at both Xomed Surgical Products and Wright Medical Technologies. Prior, both companies had been managed to near bankruptcy. The new management teams were tasked with difficult business restructurings which were needed to turn the businesses around so that they could be taken public with successful IPOs. Frank’s management insight and coaching during those sessions encouraged team work and provided the business philosophy and strategy necessary to help set the businesses on a success path. As result, at the three year point post IPO in both companies, initial investors had gained a ten times return on their investments. A significant portion of the successes is a credit to Frank Lee, and we would not have been as successful without his guidance.
