here is no definite way
to predict the investment
market movement and
how it would affect your
investments. For new investors,
understanding the investment
market dynamics can be
challenging. Financial planning is
a critical aspect in today’s world
of inflation every one wishes to
maintain a healthy situation of
wealth in his life. With regular
earnings, one can maintain the
household’s expenses and other
necessities. But some additional
charges need to be met out of the
same earning itself. But there are
some unexpected expenses like
medical expenses or any other
casualty that require a large
sum of money and are totally
unplanned. How can all this be
done? A small question arises
in the mind of every salaried
person because these all need
to be planned with the current
earnings, which can meet all the
requirements.
Financial planning refers to
streamlining income, expenses,
assets, and liabilities to manage
the funds’ current and future
needs. It is thus a process that
enables better management of
the personal financial situation
of a household or the financial
situation of a large corporation.
People often contemplate whether
it is beneficial to hire a financial
advisor or not. After all, they will
be handing over the financial
matters to them. You might often
think there is plentiful information
on the web about investing—then
why would one need a financial
advisor? With many financial
instruments available these days,
it becomes challenging to finalize
products that give short-term and
long-term gains and are aligned
with your financial goals.

Nigel Green is the Founder and CEO of deVere Group. Nigel started out as an Independent Financial Adviser in
the UK. He had the opportunity to travel to Bermuda on a business trip, where he found massive potential for
a new kind of financial service for offshore clients.
He quickly recognized that international clients away from their home countries required a more holistic,
multi-faceted financial service offering that considered the regional and country variations in tax law,
legislation, and regulations. He then opened deVere’s first office in Hong Kong in 2002. Now, deVere is
one of the world’s largest independent financial advisory, asset management, and fintech organizations.

Independent
Financial
Advisor.”
you usually hire a professional
to get the best results. The same
can be said for managing your
finances. While you may have
some ideas about what types of
investments to own, a financial
advisor can offer you professional
expertise and insight you may not
have. Magazines, cable television,
and websites produce a wealth
of investing information daily,
but do you have time to evaluate
it to make the best investment
decisions?
This is where hiring a financial
advisor becomes necessary.
A financial advisor has sound
knowledge of finances and can
maximize your returns and make
your money work hard for you.
There are several reasons why
hiring a good financial advisor
has become the need of the hour.
While you could be aware of
your needs and the way to go
about investing for them, you
may not always have the time
to do it all by yourself.
If you’re a new investor, a
financial advisor can help you
determine the proper asset
allocation to fit your lifestyle. If
you currently have an investment
portfolio, a financial advisor can
evaluate your existing investments
and determine if they are still
appropriate for meeting your
short-or long-term goals.
Remember, a financial advisor
has the time, knowledge, research
tools, expertise, and experience
you may not have. After all,
investment planning is their
full-time job.
One of the top firms providing
financial consulting services
globally is deVere Group. As one

he future of communication
and computers lies with
mobile devices, such
as tablets, laptops, and
smartphones with desktop-computer
capabilities. Their size, applications,
operating systems, and processing
power make them ideal to use
from anywhere with an internet
connection. And with the expansion
of the Internet of Things (IoT),
ruggedized devices, and operating
systems such as macOS, ChromeOS,
and Windows 10, every piece of
hardware enhanced with these
capabilitiesand software becomes a
mobile computing device.
Because mobile devices have
become more portable and
affordable, organizations and users
have preferred buying and using
them over desktop computers. And
with ubiquitous wireless internet
access, all mobile devices are
becoming more vulnerable to
data breachesand attacks.
Today cyber criminals can hack
into cars, security cameras, baby
monitors, and implanted healthcare
devices. And by 2025, over 75
billion “things” could be connected
to the internet—including cameras,
door locks, thermostats, smart TVs,
health monitors, lighting fixtures,
and many other devices.
While it is undoubtedly critical to
establish and enforce an enterprise-
wide security policy, a policy alone
isn’t sufficient to counter the variety
and volume of today’s mobile
threats. Firms embracing bring-
your-own-device (BYOD) policies
also expose themselves to higher
security risks. They give possibly
unsecured devices access to sensitive
databases and corporate servers,
opening them to cyberattacks.
Fraudsters and cyber criminals
exploit these vulnerabilities and
cause damage or harm to the user
and the organization. They seek
insider information, trade secrets,
and unauthorized access to a secure
network to find anything that could
be profitable.
Therefore any organization must
employ an end-to-end mobile
security solution. SyncDog is one
of the world’s best end-to-end

Many organizations are dumping
office spaces and adopting a more
flexible work model incorporating
Work From Anywhere policies. At
first sight, these policies seem to
benefit both the employees and
the company—giving employees
autonomy over where they live
and reducing the costs of physical
office space. But when examining
this shift more carefully, while
many employees are more
productive, it is also glaringly
apparent that they are unprotected
by the security features they had
from their in-office network. This
work model transition also results
in a notable increase in employees
using their personal devices for
work purposes, considerably
widening the organizational
attack surface.
In today’s cyberthreat landscape,
no business is safe from a security
incident and cannot rely on
built-in cybersecurity features to
protect their corporate data. To
establish more robust security
postures, business leadership must
prioritize securing employee mobile
devices which access corporate or
government data.
With mobile threats increasing at
an alarming rate, organizations
should not struggle to determine
which solutions they need to
implement to protect their remote
workforce best—SyncDog’s Secure.

here are several medical,
physical, and mental ben-
efits associated with the
use of DME. DME allows
individuals to become more inde-
pendent and decreases the level of
assistance needed from caregivers
with the potential for increased
independence.
Tactical Rehabilitation is a full
service DME company whose
mission is to serve those who
serve our country. It provides
the highest quality products and
the highest level of service to
active duty service members,
veterans and their families.
All of the firm’s products are battle
tested having been used by service
members deployed throughout
the world. Its office staff is trained
to provide the highest quality
care and fit for patients and
to be a resource for providers.
Kevin MacRitchie,
Chief Operations
Officer, will divulge
the secret sauce
of COOs to make a
company successful
Why is instilling a
company culture
important to a company?
• Company culture is the DNA
or code we live by to serve
others within Tactical Reha-
bilitation. Our culture centers
around our mission, vision and
goals formulated by Vice-Pres-
ident Reed Abernathy. They
are simple and explicit “We
Provide the Highest Quality
Products and the Highest Level
of Service to active-duty service
members, veterans, and their
families”.
• Having a simple code to rally
around makes the develop-
ment of our employees and
the understanding of why we
serve others so very simple to
get behind by all of us here
at Tactical Rehabilitation and
our providers and patients.
• More importantly, ensuring
we keep it alive and educate
new employees and remind
long-term employees of our
purpose, also keeps us on the
same track together.
Explain a time when you im-
plemented a major change
that helped the company.
COVID seems to be the end-all
excuse for everyone for everything
from delay in access to goods
and services, to business decline
or failure, to a general sense of
insecurity. The biggest challenge
was to make it our excuse to grow,
expand, serve our patients daily,
and ensure our employees, in-
cluding the ones we hired during
COVID, felt safe remaining with
us for the duration. And we did
it… we grew, we made sure our
patients had access to the best
quality healthcare possible and
that our employees’ needs were
met in order for them to focus
on the roles in the success story
we call “Tactical Rehabilitation”.
Who do you look up to or
try to emulate as a leader?
My Grandparents have always
been my heroes. They instilled
in me a never-ending work ethic;
Showed me there is always inspi-
ration and hope to achieve any-
thing I want – I just have to find
the way; Team’s get more done
than individuals; Wealth is mea-
sured in friendships (partnerships
in business); and to always focus
on seeing to the needs of others
first and I will be the happiest
person in the room and able
to accomplish more as a result.
I live by these in order to honor
my grandparents and serve others.
What is your mission
as a COO?
To develop leaders that will
carry our unique and successful
practical approach to serving
the world’s greatest heroes
long after everyone here retires.
What are the most
important aspects
of company culture?
Serving others with excellence
and a focus to ensure we promote
Tactical Rehabilitation is a national provider of durable medical
equipment serving active duty military and their families

7. healing. We appreciate those that
would lay their lives on the line
for us and the ideals of freedom,
therefore we strive to offer “Service
to die for”, with the hope no one
ever has to.
What would you say is
most challenging about
corporate budgeting?
All of it. With no exception,
budgeting is the art of “polishing
the crystal ball” as our CEO David
Marr tells me regularly. With it,
however, we ensure we can look
as far into the future as is possi-
ble and course correct as early as
possible in order to make the best
possible moves for the company to
ensure we are always serving our
patients to the best of our abilities
and for many generations to come.
Why is Tactical Rehabilita-
tion the best pace to work
in your opinion?
It starts with our Founder and CEO
– David Marr who set the tone of
ensuring the Nation’s servicemen
and women get the best possible
products and solutions available
without exception. Our two Vice
Presidents, Reed Abernathy and
James Polka, have developed our
Mission and Vision into something
we can all easily understand and
rally behind and live it through
examples of serving others daily.
Our CFO, Karen Lyons, is incred-
ible at analyzing and developing
models we can review while simul-
taneously ensuring the company
is always 2-3 steps ahead in every
financial move we make as we
grow. Most significantly, it is our
employees who wake up daily in
order to serve the worlds’ greatest
heroes. We love our patients and
all they do for the protection of
freedom and it is why we get out
of bed every day to serve them.
There can simply be no better
job than to wake daily and know
I am serving the greatest patients
on earth with the greatest team
assembled to do so, and this
includes our product providers
who share our same approach
to quality and service.

business thrives when
each project is delivered
successfully. Selecting and
executing suitable projects
as per its workforce’s capacity and
capability is the stepping stone
towards the firm’s ultimate vision.
With the ongoing diversification,
enterprises are expanding their
horizons and undertaking multiple
projects to form portfolios.
However, it is not as easy it sounds.
When there is an entire portfolio (or
multiple) to supervise, it becomes
challenging to monitor every
project metric
diligently. It

In conversation with
Jared Whitaker, CEO

director, for better
understanding of the
company
What are the most important
attributes of successful
leaders today?
I believe transparency is a key
attribute to be a true leader.
Remove the barriers between layers
and make sure everyone in the
organization is on the same mission.
I also believe in the fact that every
member of staff is a person, so treat
them as people, not as numbers.
Work together as people who want
to achieve the same goals for the
company. I also think that successful
leaders have to realize that they are
there to serve. They serve the people
that work for them, not the other

9. way around. Only by being a true
servant for your team can they be
free to do what they need to do to
help your organization thrive.
How do you keep your
team motivated despite
conflicts and obstacles?
I have found that by instilling a
culture of openness, transparency,
respect, and by working together
with similar values and goals,
the motivation is inherent in that
culture. The team wants to achieve
the same goals and has the same
vision, so they are motivated to
achieve them. We also strive to
constantly keep the tram up to date
with any big developments in the
organization, such as investments,
new clients etc. If any issue,
obstacle, or conflict does arise,
we deal with it openly and with
understanding.
What have been the biggest
challenges you’ve had to
overcome?
We have been a small team to
date, and because of that the main
challenge has been juggling the
work to make sure we deliver
the best possible service for all
our clients, while growing the
business, and enhancing our product
offering. We have worked hard as a
bootstrapped company to get where
we are, and we have just closed out
our first investment round which
will enable us to scale the business
more, whilst ensuring we keep
the high standards of service
we have achieved already.
What was the path you
took to get to where you
are today?
I started out in projects, working
as a project manager, a PMO Head,
and Program Director for around 5
years before I moved to the UK and
moved into more a business role.
Along the way I learned a lot about
people, about delivery, and about
always working hard to achieve
desired outcomes. My business
roles that I performed really gave
me a great platform of knowledge
and experience that I have been
able to apply to Fluid. In my mind,
I never really thought of being a
CEO, I always thought of myself as
someone who supports the CEO or
leader, but after becoming CEO of
Fluid, I feel that this is the right role
for me, and that I do have a lot to
offer the role.
What qualities are lacking
among today’s leaders?
I obviously can’t speak for everyone,
and can only speak from my
experiences, but to me the main
qualities I have seen lacking are
humility, transparency, and treating
everyone with respect. I have
witnessed too many “leaders” who
believe that because they are at a
higher level within the organization
than others that it means they are
more important. That’s just not the
case. Everyone is important, and
everyone has a role to play. I have
also witnessed too many instances
of “leaders” thinking that their teams
serve them when they should be
serving their teams. I think to me
there are bosses and leaders, and
from my experience, a leader is
harder to find than a boss, but a
true leader will always be better
and do better than a boss.
How do you generate great
ideas in your organization?
We generate them together. We
constantly engage with each other
to come up with ideas. We listen
to each team member’s ideas, the
exec team’s ideas, and the ideas of
our clients. These are probably the
most important. If the marketplace
is asking for something, it’s a good
idea to listen and make sure we can
offer what people are looking for. A
key skill we have as a company is
to listen. We listen to everyone who
has a suggestion, request or idea,
and that has really paid off well
for us.
What’s the most important
risk you took and why?
I don’t think there have been many
huge risks we have taken, and I
believe that is down to having such
a great team. We do what needs
to be done, and we do it together.
The only thing that might be seen
as a risk by some people that I do
(which I don’t believe is a risk), is I
hire people that might not have the
relevant industry or role experience
if I know and believe they will do a
fantastic job for us. So far that “risk”
has worked brilliantly.
How do you align your
organization with your
vision and mission?
I covered this a lot previously,
talking about how we work
transparently and engage our team
members. Some of the mechanisms
we use to do this are monthly
Townhalls for the entire company,
I have one-on-ones monthly with
every member of staff, we send out
weekly update mails to everyone
around key items that are happening
(sales updates, client updates etc.),
and I have a 100% open door policy.
Anyone in the team can contact me
anytime about anything.
We help teams
and individuals
save time, work a
better day, and let
them focus on what
matters most.”
