This is The Perfect Time To Be Bold & Disruptive!
Manage episode 269281921 series 2362821
Pontus Noren pioneered the "cloud-native" approach as CEO at Cloudreach, the scaleup he founded in 2009 – just after Lehman Brothers collapsed - & led to an exit in 2017.
By the time Blackstone acquired the business, Cloudreach was a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant, ranked top 25 in The Sunday Times Hiscox Tech 100, & ranked by the FT as one of Europe’s fastest growing companies
Pontus is now the Chair of Tyk – an opensource API platform startup - & an advisor to several tech startups & scaleups
We explored:
- The huge opportunity for startups to sell to large companies who need to shake everything up due to the pandemic
- The mantra: “What you don’t do is as important as what you do do!”
- The learning: “I’ve often recruited people too fast but I’ve never fired someone too fast!”
- The devastating consequences of senior mis-hires
- To avoid panic hires: how to plan your organisational design based on your expectations of future market opportunities & challenges
