The Evolution of Leadership and Growth at Storm Smart

 

Storm Smart’s journey from a small startup to a leading force in hurricane protection is a story of resilience, innovation, and powerful leadership. Our growth has been remarkable. We were founded nearly 30 years ago by Brian Rist with a handful of employees. Gulfshore Bussiness featured an article post exploring the leadership journey that took Storm Smart from its humble beginnings to its current powerhouse.

 

Brian Rist’s leadership style, honed over years of navigating the challenges of a rapidly growing company, set the stage for his successor, Scot Burris, to take the reins in 2021. Under Burris’s leadership, the company has expanded rapidly, particularly after devastating storms like Hurricane Ian. From Rist’s innovation in hurricane protection to Burris’s focus on culture and efficiency, the article delves into the lessons, challenges, and triumphs that have shaped the Storm Smart brand.

 

Discover how Storm Smart’s leadership, culture, and innovative products like the Storm Catcher® screen have impacted the industry and the communities it serves. It’s a story of vision, teamwork, and unwavering commitment to safety that continues to unfold as the company looks toward a bright future.

"We purchased our Storm Smart hurricane screens last year for peace of mind during hurricane season. Little did we know that we would use them almost every day all year round! They not only offer protection in the event of powerful storms but they provide daily shade in the late afternoon sun as well as rain protection during afternoon showers, allowing us to use our lanai as an integrated outdoor living space. We love them and everyone who sees them, wants them."
