No matter if you’re the COO of a small business or a huge one, it’s going to feel like a rollercoaster. Even if your business seems steady, there are always going to be ups and downs, either with the company or with getting your work done.

Not to worry, though. The most terrifying roller coasters have the most peaks and are often the most memorable.

Join us in welcoming Hunter McMahon to the COO Alliance tribe!

Hunter is the COO of iDiscovery Solutions (iDS) with their headquarters based in Washington, DC.

iDS is focused on collaborating with their team of experts to provide industry-leading solutions for clients.

Hunter began his career running IT and litigation support for a mid-sized law firm pushing him to law school. With a background in both IT & law, he has led several teams of experts for similarly situated companies.

He continues to work with clients to leverage data analytics for litigation, investigations, data privacy, compliance issues, and more. Hunter has served as a testifying and consulting expert to corporations, both large and small, while working with Am Law 100 and boutique law firms.

When we asked him what he believed his business strengths were, here’s what he had to say:

"I'm stubborn. Too stubborn to accept failure so it creates a drive and relentless pursuit of success. I'm not afraid of not knowing the answer right then (or having to ask somebody else). I'm a big believer that it takes a team to create the right solution and the best move I can make is having the right people on the call (or in the room). Default yes. Always lean into opportunities rather than away. But then take a hard look at the yes to see if it is the right kind of yes. Accountability. I love accountability because it empowers folks to be successful and give me a tool when they are not to help them understand why. In our business specifically, my experience and reputation of having done what we do help tremendously because I'm able to see operational struggles coming before they are a crisis.”

Thanks for sharing your thoughtful insights Hunter and welcome to the tribe!
