147 - Authentic leadership with Sri Sharma

Evolving your leadership today isn't only about strategy, goals and performance, it's about people, being real and growing through change, with all its highs and lows.

In this episode, I'm joined by Sri Sharma, serial technology entrepreneur, who has founded 2 companies that have both sold to private equity, and is now a strategic advisor to B2B software and agency scale-ups.

In our conversation we explore what it means to be a leader with authenticity, how to build global teams, and stay resilient and strong in moments of uncertainty and business pressure.
