What does it actually look like when a growing company's technology can no longer keep up with its growth?
In the first episode of The Particle Accelerator, Ben Johnson (CEO of Particle41) sits down with Aaron Videtto, Head of Product & Client Experience at Anderson Business Advisors, for a conversation that is anything but theoretical.
Anderson is a one-stop shop for private real estate investors, handling entity formation, tax strategy, bookkeeping, and estate planning for clients whose journeys span seven to eight years on average. When PE investment poured fuel on the growth engine, the 12-year-old WordPress client portal couldn't keep up. Clients were waiting. Staff were pushing paper. The client experience was starting to crack.
Aaron came in with a clear mandate: profitable growth at scale. Not just fix the process, transform the economics.
In this episode, they cover:
Why Product and Client Experience should live under one leader, and what breaks when they don't
How to build a business case that gets PE firm buy-in (hint: quantify the FTEs you won't need to hire)
The discovery that a complex financial product could be purchased online, at 2am, on a Saturday
What made the Particle41 partnership different from every other vendor relationship
The "fast gear vs. slow gear" framework for thinking about AI in enterprise software
Why the best product managers spend 2-3 days a month in the field with clients
The concrete results: 5% top-line revenue growth, 4-5% EBITDA improvement, and a path to 11% by 2028
