My name is Wade Franchville, I'm a proud Husband and Father of 3 beautiful children. I'm also the CEO and Founder of Harba Solutions Inc. a national staffing organization specialising in life sciences.
Back in 2021, immediately after I decided to take on the daunting task of running my own business - I knew that I needed to think of a strong company name. I wanted something unique, a name that stood out from the crowd but also something that had real meaning.
After many days wrestling with a bunch of names that didn't quite feel right, I decided to head out to one of my favourite places in the world - a small piece of land in Southern Indiana owned by my great-grandmother Emma Harbaville.
My great-grandmother was an incredible woman, strong, thoughtful and loved dearly by her family and her community. Unfortunately, she passed away following a long-suffering battle with Alzheimer's disease, a condition that continues to inflict harm and pain on members of my family and extended family today.
Out in the open air that day, I had my eureka moment - the organization had to be named Harba, in memory of my great-grandmother. After all, life sciences, to me, is all about protecting families, and I wanted to create a company that felt like an extension of my own.
This is why the Harba Foundation means so much to me. Harba Solutions is a dream come true and is growing faster than any of us could have imagined but I'm determined that Harba stands for more than commercial success - through the foundation, I hope we can play our part in moving the needle towards a brighter future for those at risk or currently suffering from Neurodegenerative Disorders.
For my great-grandmother, for my family and for the 6 million American families currently living with Neurodegenerative Disorders - we will continue to push for a brighter future.
