Event Details
For many founders, owners, and executive leaders, navigating a successful exit represents one of the most important and complex milestones in a company’s lifecycle. On March 11, ACG brings together two exceptional leaders whose careers offer deeply complementary perspectives on the sell-side journey, providing practical insight for business leaders thinking strategically about their own roadmap toward exit.
Paul Anthony Troiano
Paul Anthony Troiano | LinkedIn
Paul’s perspective comes from having founded, scaled, and exited multiple companies. Most notably, there was the digital music micro-licensing platform Rumblefish. At the time of the transaction, Rumblefish was issuing over 50,000 micro-licenses daily for YouTube monetization. Rumblefish was acquired by a private, equity-backed company called SESAC. Paul is still active in the business community and has founded several additional enterprises.
Doug Kitani

Doug’s insights are a product of his experience as a CEO for companies backed by private equity firms. Having served as CEO of Erickson Incorporated, IAP Worldwide Services, and now Trillium Flow Technologies, Doug offers invaluable insight into how executive leadership, private equity dynamics, and operational rigor shape exit readiness and deal execution at scale.

Event Details
Are you an employer or considering becoming one? Work in HR or leadership? Join us April 15th & 16th at the Pendleton Convention Center for the 2nd Annual Eastern Oregon Employer Conference, built for employers who want real answers, not more buzzwords.
If you’ve ever thought:
“I don’t have time to figure out all these new workplace laws.”
“Good employees are so hard to find.”
“I’d love to train my staff, but where do I even start?”
Then this day is for you.
You’ll walk away with practical tools and connections that make your job easier, not just another to-do list. Choose from breakout sessions packed with useful tips, meet local experts who actually understand rural business challenges, and network with other employers who get what it’s like to run a business in Eastern Oregon.
Take this time to invest in your business — and leave with the connections and resources to make a lasting impact.
