Secrets to Being a Strategic Operator and Joining a Board

Consistent execution makes you a great operator. Strategic execution makes you an exceptional operator and opens doors to opportunities including board roles.

Crypto Cult(ure) Clash

A functional society requires giving up certain freedoms to create predictability when interacting with strangers. Crypto is a response to a rapid change in these values that is allowing fewer and fewer individuals to coordinate  for better or worse.

The 3 Misconceptions of AI

You might not know how AI works, but you’ve heard it’s incredible. In this talk, we will disassemble unfounded assertions about AI. Then, build an informed understanding of how it can and will transform your organization to yield enduring results.

Breakout Speaker and Founding Knowledge Partner

Presented by McKinsey & Company

Your strategy used to be simple and actionable. Now it’s more complex, and employees don’t buy it – at least not yet. Your reluctance to build out an org chart is the perfect antidote to the bureaucracy trap. Sound familiar?  Whether fundraising, investing in core processes, expanding into new markets through ambitious M&A, or preparing for an IPO, shaping your organization to compete as it grows in size, scope, and complexity is hard work.

Doing that while you drive revenue and EBITDA is even harder. Yet, fast-growth companies appear to defy gravity in their ability to do just. Tackling the growing pains that come with scaling requires a blueprint for different types of growth.

Claudy Jules

Partner, McKinsey & Company

Blueprint For Growth

Join Claudy Jules, former advisor to CapitalG, for this interactive session, where he will share insights on how startup leaders can take stock and take action on the blueprint required for different types of growth.

Nannies Take Cash, Not Stock Options: Life as an Operator

Moderated by Evan Meagher, CFO at Core Weave

Untitled design (18)

Moderated by Evan Meagher, CFO at Core Weave

At the highest level, every profession has its own unique trials and tribulations — think surgeons, chefs, dancers, actors, or athletes. Being a professional operator (COO, CFO, GM, Chief of Staff..) on a world-class playing field is no different; the job runneth over with hardships and loneliness that only other operators can relate to. People in our profession are drawn to the adrenaline of building meaningful products with amazing teams. We’re captivated by the impact we can have on the front lines of a business, whether we’re driving growth at an early-stage startup or guiding an established company to market dominance. That said, this thrill comes with countless sacrifices — 24-month average tenures at a company, piles of illiquid (worthless?) stock options in lieu of cash, a constant juggling act between professional and family responsibilities, being fired by your co-founder, growing a business that then outgrows you, battling narcissist CEOs, choosing between exciting vs. stable opportunities, and everything in between. This panel is for operators who’ve experienced any of these tribulations and many more. Come join us for a raw, candid and open conversation about life as a professional operator.
