How to go from a penny to hundreds of millions of dollars with serial entrepreneur Anthony Amunategui  Anthony Amunategui, Founder of CDO Group, Inc., started his career with college painting houses, Discovery Zones, and Banana Republics. The founder was discovered at Discovery Zone by a Project Manager for his outstanding craftsmanship and efficiency as a painter, which led to a paid trip. Later, Anthony was invited for an interview in Chicago for a Junior Coordinator position and successfully got the job. He was provided with a credit card from the company and was paid to travel to different places like California, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Additionally, Anthony’s team dramatically lessened the time to develop these Discovery Zone playgrounds to under seven days! Anthony Amunategui was able to take what he learned to Einstein Bagels, Boston Chicken, Panera Bread, and Au Bon Pain, and all in other cases. He did everything perfectly that he built himself out of a job. This is how an outsourced construction management group was invented, and CDO Group was formed. Anthony was able to make CDO Group a highly sought-after and satisfied clients’ requirements such as Hampton Inn & Suites, Kate Spade, McDonald’s, TGI Friday’s, Ann Taylor, Dunkin’ Brands, and Gap Mac Cosmetics. Anthony’s genuine passion and love for construction, empowering people, new concepts, and daily seeking after self-improvement has overwhelmed everyone in the niche. Anthony believes in developing good relations by offering an excellent experience to the biggest multi-unit retailers. Many brands have entrusted CDO Group with their business.
