Developing a Global Company

Challenges and Opportunities

Every year at the CEO Master Minds Summit, we gather founders, and entrepreneurs to gain a much greater understanding on topics related to capital, revenue and talent from seasoned tech executives.

This year, Dennis DeBroeck seasoned legal veteran, Eric Benhamou, Founding General Partner at BGV, and Eric Stang, Chairman & CEO of OOMA shared thoughtful critique of today’s fundraising and capital landscape.

Revenue and marketing vanguards including Donna Wells, former CMO of Mint.com, and Francis Lobo, former CRO of WeWork discussed product marketing fit and the importance of understanding your customer.

Providing perspective on the talent landscape were Sarah O’Brien, Global Insights Director at LinkedIn and Don Seeley, Head of Search at DeWinter Group.

We were truly grateful to every speaker for their time and insights at this year’s event. But don’t take our word for it — you can see these tremendous conversations for yourself.

Lastly, a special thanks to our CEO Master Minds Summit partner, Silicon Valley Bank and sponsors DeWinter Group, TriNet and SheppardMullin.
