About This Session.

What the panel covered, and the ideas worth bringing back to your leadership team.

Not every founder becomes a great CEO, and that’s not always a bad thing. This session explored the pivotal transition from visionary founder to effective CEO.

The conversation unpacked the psychological, strategic, and organizational shifts required to scale successfully, and what happens when founders evolve or opt out.
