Our CEO, Rami Cassis, spoke on the CEOs Unscripted podcast for a conversation drawing on three decades of hiring, backing, and occasionally replacing chief executives.
Rami gives an unfiltered account of what separates great CEOs from expensive mistakes. This draws on three decades of experience in growth investing and working with CEOs across multiple companies.
He argues that most failures are visible in advance to an investor who knows what signs to look for. Those warning signs tend to appear in the numbers long before they appear in performance.
Forecasting discipline and a willingness to be held to numbers are among the clearest early signals. A leader who resists accountability on forecasts rarely improves under pressure.
As a hands-on investor, he believes management change is often the fastest route to value, not the last resort. Delaying that decision usually costs more than making it early.
