Build to scale - Part 1: The team you build, builds the company
About the series – As a founder, you are the central point of your company’s journey. As your company grows, your role may change; you have a board to report to and new profiles are added to your team. How can you lead this journey and guide your company to growth? That’s a question Katleen Vandersmissen (Managing Partner at HERAN) and Jord Teeuwen (Managing Partner at QTC Recruitment) discuss in this series. Both know what it takes in terms of talent, but bring different views to the table: one brings the investor and director perspective, the other that of the executive search and talent advisory perspective. Different angles, same question: what separates the teams that scale successfully from those that stall?
