Co-CEOs, can this concept ever work? According to research, the
answer is no – it almost never works. According to Paul Kenyon and
Mark Austin, the answer is yes – it’s the only way Avecto would
have achieved the success it has to date, securing 8 million
endpoints. The two have been running Avecto together in cohesion
for the past decade, but this isn’t their first time leading
together.
Mark and Paul worked together as co-founders of the company
AppSense. While they didn’t know exactly what technology they
wanted to create for their next company, they did know that for
their next endeavor the only way it would work is if they were
Co-CEOs. Paul and Mark both believe the most successful leaders
find their opposite and learn from them every day.
I invited them onto the show today to learn more about their tech
startup story and explore the concept of Co-CEOs and how Paul and
Mark have made this structure successful.
