💭 Executive Perspective: Benzinga’s founder and CEO Jason Raznick was the Honorary Chair and Keynote Speaker at the 25th annual “Strictly Business” event on Tuesday, which focuses on the metropolitan Detroit business community.

Raznick shared his story on how Benzinga was created and built, and the core values which drive the company's growth:

- We do what we say
- It’s the what, not the who
- Urgency is the ante to play
- We find a better way
- We create raving fans
“Instead of a hierarchy or a monarchy, Benzinga is a place of do-ers. If you’re a do-er, I believe you can achieve anything — we don’t say we’re going to work today, we say we’re going to build.”
