Force Multipliers: The people, mindset & moves that unlock scale
Ruth Handcock
CEO, Octopus Money
As founders grow their close-knit team to a complex organisation, the challenges multiply and often evolve faster than expected; hiring seasoned leaders without killing the culture, evolving ways of working without creating chaos, and preparing for acquisition or growth without losing momentum. With experience in leading VC-backed startups to large, complex businesses, Ruth Handcock will share practical lessons for founders facing these next-stage transitions.
“I rarely, if ever, get to connect with founders who are also CEOs who are also at a similar inflection point or moment of scale in their business. Invaluable networking, personal development and learning.”
