Try it now at publ.com Derek Coburn is the Founder and CEO of cadre, an un-networking community in Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD, which currently supports over 100 CEOs and business leaders and has hosted numerous bestselling authors and important public figures. He began his career as a financial advisor in 1998 and built a thriving wealth management practice, mainly by outworking everyone else. When the economy took a turn for the worse, he had to devote more attention to his existing clients and had less time for "traditional networking". He began to experiment with his own ideas, which included creating an informal "un-networking" group consisting of his best clients and other top professionals. These techniques tripled his revenue -- in just 18 months -- and improved the quality of his business and life. Derek's passion for connecting remarkable professionals led him to start cadre, and now, to write his first book.
