Companies emerge from smart people with clever ideas. However, it takes a systematic approach to making a company sustainably successful. My guest Sandeep Chennakeshu is the author of Your Company Is Your Castle and compares building a company to that of a medieval castle that has withstood the test of time, having weathered nature’s elements and hordes of invaders. Sandeep ties eight structural elements of such castles to eight essential elements that make a company thrive. After two decades in corporate roles as CTO of Ericsson Mobile Phones and Sony Ericsson, president of Ericsson Mobile Platforms, SVP at Freescale, president of BlackBerry Technology Solutions, and EVP of AMD, Sandeep returned to consulting and the start-up world. He is currently COO at Uhnder Inc., a pioneer in digital-imaging radar, and sits on the advisory boards of exciting tech start-ups. Join us as we explore how to make a company sustainably successful so that it becomes a castle and stands the test of time.
