The Startup Executive
Meet Josh.
Josh is CEO for a global verification technology company headquartered in London.
Discover how Josh used BlueSteps to successfully own his CEO position despite his lack of experience.
Josh was ready for a new challenge.
After hiring 100+ new people at once, across the world, Josh realized he was out of his depth. He lacked the proper experience to lead a company through normal growing pains associated with start-up culture, and the cracks in his leadership foundation began to show. One of his peers in the executive space recommended he talk to a Career Advisor to get his skills on par with executives at this level.
