CIO Views: Cover Story

"Dave VanEpps, the Chief Operating Officer at Exceptional Difference, is a highly accomplished leader in his field and the epitome of strategic expertise and dedication. When asked to describe himself, he says “Motivated,” and we concur wholeheartedly. He expresses gratitude for his daily work and strives to be the best version of himself. His meticulous attention to detail and visionary approach are evident in every aspect of his work, from optimizing supply chains to driving the company’s growth.

He reminds us that despite the challenges of leading a prominent organization, “Success is all about making a difference and positively impacting your circles – your organization, your family, your community – for generations to come.” 

He further explains his point with examples. A stone creates a ring of ripples in a calm pond, which can transcend the entire pond if the water is calm enough. The ripples can amplify as they join forces and cascade across the pond. Dave believes we are the stone in life, setting ripples in motion through our words, actions, and behaviors. A positive action pattern can create a culture of excellence where everyone thrives. To him, exceptional leaders set good examples, and amplification occurs when others in one’s circle replicate one’s behavior, leading to a broad, lasting, positive ripple effect."
