Most CEOs don’t plan their own exit. What happens when the person who built the company isn’t the right one to scale it?
Scott Calderwood joins Maartje van Krieken to talk about CEO transition strategies, scaling leadership challenges, and executive hiring mistakes. When a company reaches a breaking point—whether at Series C funding, IPO, or another growth stage—how do leaders know if they’re still the right fit? And more importantly, what happens when they aren’t?
Scott shares hard-earned insights from decades in executive search, and reveals why cultural fit matters as much as technical skill in leadership hires. He introduces the “bad hire calculator,” a tool that puts real numbers behind the cost of hiring the wrong person. With firsthand stories of leadership transitions gone right (and wrong), this episode is a must-listen for leaders going through the realities of executive growth and change.
