Insight Onsite | June 18, 2018| 1 min. read

If you had to boil it down, what single factor has contributed most to your company's growth?

"Belief in our strategy was a major contributing factor in our company’s growth. We knew we had the right investment partners, forward-thinking leadership, dedicated and capable team members as well as industry-leading solutions, but without buy-in and belief in our very aggressive strategy from everyone involved, we could not have reached these amazing achievements. The team from Insight Venture Partners put incredible trust and resources in the Frontline’s ability to execute on our development roadmap as well as our acquisition strategy. That uncompromising belief and trust was felt across the company and empowered all Frontline Education employees to creatively approach and address any issues and obstacles they faced on the way to successful fulfillment of their individual goals, enabling the overall growth of the company."  - Tim Clifford, President and Cheif Executive Officer of Frontline Education
