Vision is Easy. Scaling is Hard - Learning to Make the Hard Calls

In the premiere episode of Hard Calls, host Trisha Price sits down with her longtime mentor, Founding CEO and Executive Chairman of the Board for nCino, Pierre Naudé, for a deeply personal and practical conversation about what it really takes to make hard decisions as a product and business leader. Trisha and Pierre share their lived experience scaling nCino from a scrappy startup to a public company, recounting the pivotal product, technology, and people decisions they made along the way.

Trisha reflects on the most important lessons she learned working alongside Pierre: from making platform bets and scaling org structures, to defining “whole product” thinking and knowing when to evolve your team. Whether you're leading your first team or preparing for your company's next inflection point, this episode is packed with honest insight and tactical wisdom.
