Ever wondered what really happens behind closed doors when a company decides who gets the C-suite seat?
Join us for an exclusive fireside chat with Matt Shore, CEO of StevenDouglas. With Matt, we'll go beyond executive bios and into the real mechanics of executive careers.
Matt didn't start at the top. He built his career in large organizations before taking the reins of a small private company- and grew it from $5M to $125M, organically, with zero debt. No shortcuts, no leverage, just execution. Since then, he's sat on the other side of the table, advising Boards, PE funds, and companies on who gets hired into the C-suite — and why.
In this conversation, we're asking the questions most executives only discuss privately:
→ What do you have to unlearn to make the leap from "successful" to "enterprise executive?"
→ How are C-suite decisions actually made- and how much of it has nothing to do with performance?
→ Why do highly capable leaders stall at Director, VP, or SVP- even when the results are undeniable?
→ What does the C-suite actually require that you can't see or understand from outside the room?
If you're building toward the next level of your career- or trying to understand why the path hasn't opened yet- this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
