I’ve written on my blog on many of the stages that a CEO has to execute on to grow a company: board of directors, business models, competition, diversity, fundraising, internationalization, leadership, legal, management, market research, marketing, mergers & acquisitions, negotiation, product management, public relations, recruiting, sales, site/app design, software development, startup ideas, etc.
I’ve presented to senior executives at leading corporations (Franklin Templeton, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, KPMG) and executive resource groups (CEO Trust, Vistage), receiving positive feedback. Below are some recent presentations:
