Young, high growth companies face a constant series of decisions regarding risk, many of which are not readily apparent to founders. Identifying the presence of risk is the first step. Even when identified, decisions are typically made with limited experience, resources and time. Ignoring risk reduces future valuation. Undue mitigation, or unwarranted avoidance, of risk slows growth. This is the essence of ‘responsible growth’ – the identification, then proper acceptance, mitigation or avoidance of risk to accelerate growth.
My background in legal, finance and HR, with over 20 years in high growth environments, provides with me a unique perspective to help young companies manage risk responsibly, thus maximizing opportunities to accelerate growth.
