Founder / Managing Partner / Co-CEO at Dragon Horse Agency
I’m P. Blake Renda—entrepreneur, investor, and co-CEO of Veedor Holdings LLC based in Naples, FL, with a satellite office in Santa Monica, CA. Veedor Holdings LLC, in addition to making strategic investments, owns and operates Dragon Horse Agency, Dragon Horse Publishing, and Moxie Creed. My professional journey began while attending the University of Southern Calfornia as an intern at NBC Studios, which led to a full-time position upon graduating. I then pivoted to law and then finance which ultimately lead me to Wall Street in 1996, where I was part of small team in Palo Alto, CA managing over $20 billion in technology-sector assets at J. & W. Seligman & Co. and in 2000 I earned recognition as one of Institutional Investor Magazine’s “Best of the Buy Side.” In 2006, I joined the New Dimensions Growth Team of American Express Asset Management in La Jolla, CA, as the T/M/T manager across six growth funds with $40 billion plus in AUM. In 2004, I was nominated for Institutional Investor Magazine's "Best of the Buy Side." Those years instilled in me the importance of rigorously vetting opportunities and leading with foresight—skills that I have consistently applied to every entrepreneurial venture. From 2011 to 2015, I helped transform a boutique Florida skincare startup into a nationally recognized, multi-award-winning brand, culminating in its public listing via SPAC. I exited that company and launched Veedor Holdings LLC with my Co-Founder, Julie Koester. Today, we own and operate Dragon Horse Agency, a multi-award-winning, bi-coastal agency serving global clients known for delivering business strategy and marketing under one roof. We also own Dragon Horse Publishing, an award-winning publishing company, and Moxie Creed, a wellness lifestyle e-commerce company. Beyond the accolades, successes, challenges, and failures, I live with a deep belief in resilience, mentorship, and shared success. I’m a proud father, a former youth volleyball coach, and a passionate advocate of Ubuntu—"I am because we are." Whether scaling startups, navigating global markets, or building culture, I bring the same competitive spirit and collaborative ethos to every endeavor. Success isn't about accolades—it’s about legacy, community, and the courage to keep moving forward. As Winston Churchill said, “Success is not final; failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.”

Corporate culture significantly influences business performance by shaping employee behavior, decision-making, and overall organizational effectiveness. A strong, positive culture can lead to increased productivity, innovation, and employee engagement. It also affects customer satisfaction and brand reputation. Research shows that companies with healthy cultures are more likely to outperform their competitors in terms of revenue growth and profitability.
Corporate culture plays a crucial role in attracting and retaining talent. A strong, positive culture can be a significant differentiator in the job market, attracting candidates who align with the company's values and mission. It also contributes to employee satisfaction and engagement, leading to higher retention rates. Millennials and Gen Z, in particular, prioritize cultural fit when choosing employers. Companies known for great cultures often see reduced recruitment costs and a stronger employer brand, giving them a competitive edge in securing top talent.
Successful corporate cultures typically encompass several key elements: 1) Clear values and mission that guide behavior and decision-making, 2) Effective leadership that models and reinforces cultural norms, 3) Open communication and transparency across all levels, 4) Emphasis on employee well-being and work-life balance, 5) Opportunities for professional growth and development, and 6) Recognition and reward systems that align with cultural values. These elements work together to create a cohesive and productive work environment.
Companies can assess and measure their corporate culture through various methods: 1) Employee surveys and feedback sessions to gauge satisfaction and alignment with values, 2) Cultural assessment tools that evaluate different aspects of organizational culture, 3) Performance metrics tied to cultural initiatives, 4) Turnover and retention rates as indicators of employee engagement, 5) Customer feedback and Net Promoter Scores, which can reflect internal culture, and 6) Regular culture audits conducted by HR or external consultants to identify strengths and areas for improvement.
