Fewer than 25% of founders lead their companies to an exit or IPO. This makes founder succession a critical theme to be discussed among leadership teams, boards and VC’s. We help scale-ups manage this transition in a way that honours the founder’s accomplishments and helps the new CEO and team usher the company into a new phase.
We enable effective leadership transitions, by:
Helping the founder go through their loss of identity and help them redefine themselves, during and post exit;
Facilitating a smooth transition between founder and CEO;
Working with the new CEO into asserting the company's new direction and own leadership style;
Supporting the team into transferring their loyalty to the organisation rather than founder.
