February 8, 2022
"I had a time-bomb ticking"
Alex Shevchenko (CEO of Guavus, a big data analytics firm specialising in real-time telecoms network optimisation) speaks with Xquadrant's Founder Richard Medcalf.
We are continuing our season "The CEO Learning Curve". Interesting and inspiring CEOs reflect on what got them the top job, what they've learned over the first few quarters in the role, and what lies ahead.
In this conversation, you’ll discover:
- The power of "Executive Aikido", and how it applies to COVID and management team evolution.
- The story of what happened when half the senior leadership team decided to leave the company - and how it turned out to be advantageous
- Why Alex's principle for dealing with high growth rates is actually to "learn to preserve the current ways" instead of finding new ways.
