The CEO who turned down VCs, bought back his company, and built a $1.7B SaaS empire - Ross A Paquett

Today on BILLIONS, I'm sitting down with Ross Andrew Paquette, the CEO who broke every Silicon Valley rule: he bought OUT his investors before buidling a 1.7 billion dollar empire. He founded Maropost in 2011, and by 2016, it ranked #7 on the PROFIT 500 as one of Canada's fastest-growing companies. Ross, thanks a lot for being here!
