Higley was offered a position at Janssen Pharmaceuticals located in Philadelphia but turned down the offer to pursue an idea he had been thinking about for a while. When he made the decision to pursue this idea of starting a company, his wife surprised him with her plan to create a startup of her own. So they started down this new path with two
startups, four kids, and three dogs and like all new things, EQO was something very different from what Higley was used to. He had to learn what it meant to be in the business world and navigate the many facets of which a company is comprised. He found help in the addition of his colleagues, Erika Schwarz Taylor, Stefan Schuster, and Brad Van Schouwen. Each brought with them a diverse skill set but driven by the same passion. With them by his side, Higley is determined to make EQO a success, something big and bold and different.
