You’re a co-CEO. What are some benefits and drawbacks?
Being a co-CEO allows us to divide leadership responsibilities strategically while ensuring alignment on key business priorities. Benefits include faster execution. We can split focus across operational and strategic growth initiatives while moving quickly on opportunities. Another benefit? Complementary skillsets. That’s because co-leadership allows each CEO to leverage their unique strengths, whether in product innovation, sales or operational scaling. And having co-CEOs means stronger leadership depth. Employees and customers benefit from greater executive engagement and decision-making clarity. Clear role definition is essential. Without well-defined responsibilities, decision-making can slow down. We’ve structured leadership so that each CEO owns distinct functions. Unified communication is key. A co-CEO model only works if both leaders are aligned in messaging, vision and execution strategy.
What’s been your experience scaling a technology company? Any advice for others?
Scaling a technology company requires deep customer alignment, iterative innovation and a strong operational foundation. Key takeaways from our journey include customer-centric growth: We build technology that directly solves our customers’ pain points. By embedding customer feedback into our development cycle, we create solutions that drive immediate business impact. Another takeaway is scalable infrastructure. Our cloud-based, AI-driven architecture ensures we can support enterprise-scale data processing without compromising speed or flexibility. And an emphasis on people and culture is a third takeaway. Hiring agile, adaptable talent is crucial. Scaling a tech company isn’t just about product innovation; it’s about building a team that thrives in a fast-changing environment. Automate everything you can. Just as we help retailers eliminate inefficiencies, we’ve applied the same philosophy internally to scale without adding unnecessary complexity.
