Anderson-DuBose President Finds His Perfect Balance in Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- As president and chief executive officer of Anderson-DuBose, a logistics company specializing in food service distribution, Warren Anderson has found that Ohio's central location and world-class transportation infrastructure reduce operating expenses and provide greater opportunities to reach new milestones in growth and prosperity.

Anderson is the latest business leader featured in the "State of Perfect Balance" Wall Street Journal ad campaign. The Ohio Business Development Coalition, the nonprofit organization that markets the state for capital investment.

Lower transportation cost isn't the only business advantage Warren has found in Ohio. Pro-commerce policies implemented by the Ohio Department of Development have paved the way to new expansion through low-interest loans and grants.

"The state has made it very attractive to retain the business here, to the point where this is where our home base is going to remain," Anderson said.

Warren has also found a personal advantage to running a successful business in Ohio. The same interstate system that speeds his trucks to their destinations also speeds him home to family and the pastimes he enjoys most – boating – on nearby Lake Erie, attending his children's sporting and ballet events and catching a Cleveland Cavaliers game.

"In Ohio, everything is easy to get to. To me that's an important draw for anyone choosing a place to live and work," Anderson said. "Like most people, I don't want to spend my time tied up in traffic."

According to Anderson, Ohio's work-life balance has allowed him to pursue his professional and personal passions without having to sacrifice one for the other.  

"Running a successful business is incredibly rewarding, but having time to enjoy that success with my family is the most rewarding of all," Anderson said. "That's what the State of Perfect Balance means to me."

"Top-level executives who have a true work-life balance will perform better at their jobs and the company will only achieve greater success," said Ed Burghard, executive director of the Ohio Business Development Coalition. "What's also appealing is the lack of congestion that Ohio offers, which allows executives and their employees the ability to enjoy professional success without having to sacrifice personal aspirations. Ohio provides people the opportunity for a life in perfect balance."
