When start-ups grow into scale-ups, most founders step down as CEO at some point in time. That has its ups and downs, for the founder, for the one taking over, and for the company as a whole. What is it like letting go and what is it like stepping in? Gordon Willoughby became WeTransfer's CEO in 2016, taking over from Bas Beerens. How did the transition phase go? Hear what it’s like to move from a corporate to a scale-up, and what the growing pains are from scaling the company internationally. We’ll explore the balance after his first year at WeTransfer and discuss what lies ahead.
