Join us at the Pava Center on Oct. 8 for a conversation with first-hires and founder-followers who have created startups.
There is more to a startup than the founder, there are the people that help to start it up. Behind every founder is a team of operators that you have never heard of including positions such as: Director of Product Marketing, CRO, Sales Engineer, Project Manager, and BDR.
This panel is designed for those who are passionate about execution, whether you’re contemplating a career shift to early-stage companies or looking for insights to advance in your current role. If you’re considering a move to startups, the panel will guide you through the transition and show you how to leverage your background, regardless of your field, to become a vital member of a dynamic team. For those already working at startups, the panelists will share strategies for building processes that enable lean teams to achieve exceptional success and pave the way for personal growth in these emerging career paths.
Panelists include:
