MyBoard Advisors acquires Hartfiel Medical as new client – News-Herald

MyBoard Advisors, a privately held small business advisory firm launched in 2018 by founding partners Kip Marlow and Jerry C. Cirino, recently acquired another new client, Hartfiel Medical, based in Stow.

Melissa Egts, Founder and CEO of Hartfiel, hired MyBoard to help them develop, source manufacturing and implement a marketing plan for their new products, patent pending nasal cannula covers.

MyBoard, which provides a full advisory board for businesses, is already serving clients in medical distribution, construction, information technology, manufacturing and textile services.

Cirino and Marlow started the company because they found that “many private companies needed a non-statutory board to work with them” on value creation, growth, organizational structure, exit planning and diversification.

“Many business owners we spoke with clearly see the need for an advisory board, but they just don’t know how to create one,” Cirino said. “What MyBoard does is put everything in place for the customer and bring an advisory board to their doorstep within days.”

Marlow said having an advisory board has become popular in business circles today.

“The challenge is to find the right people with the right experience who are available not only for periodic board meetings, but whenever the owner / CEO needs advice,” he added.

Egts said the company is great at building connections and solving problems for start-ups or existing businesses.

“My blankets will be available on Amazon this fall and for sale in hospitals and nursing homes, and were created to meet the real needs of patients,” she added. “They will be a breath of fresh air for those who use oxygen.”

Partial funding for the hedges came from the National Science Foundation and a subsidy through the United States Department of Defense and administered by Ohio State University.

Development in 2020, Hartfiel Medical named after Egts’ father, who taught him the values ​​of hard work and commitment.

“I really believe in entrepreneurship,” she said. “You can help solve many problems. “
