Atticus, Inspired by Titus Pomponius
Atticus Titus Pomponius was a man of
many talents. A Roman citizen who lived in Greece in the first century BC,
he was famed for his generosity, his noble gestures and his practical approach
to solving problems.
Apart from his charm and magnanimous personality, Atticus was a successful
entrepreneur and exemplary businessman. He invested wisely in real estate and
ran his own book copying and binding business, publishing many of the works
of his best friend, Cicero. Because of his uncanny ability to view situations
objectively, his many other friends and colleagues often turned to him for
support and advice.
At Atticus Interim Management, our Principals embody the spirit of Atticus
Titus Pomponius. They are extremely talented people with many years of successful
business management experience. They are mentors and leaders who inspire others.
