Eyes on the prize
The creation and growth of Graham's firm, Cross Ocean, along with the strategic decisions made throughout his own career, reflect the importance of having a long-term vision and the patience to see it through. Graham points to several career-defining moments that tested his vision, the most defining being his decision to balance sourcing capabilities between the US and Europe in response to the 2008 financial crisis. This involves making strategic choices that may not pay off immediately but are aligned with a broader vision for future growth and success.
