During the month of my 45th birthday, I participated in five board meetings — two nonprofits and three for Venture Capital — or Private Equity-backed tech companies. I got an early start in board work as I was thrust into the CEO role for a tech company in crisis in my 20s. In the years that followed, I participated as management (presenting to the board), chairperson, or board member in over 300 meetings.
In this episode of the Transformative Leader Podcast, I’m happy to bring you a conversation with leadership and organizational culture expert, Patrick Colletti…
In this episode, Patrick and Aaron discuss selling to private equity, building a company culture, and scaling the company.
Patrick Colletti is founder and the former president of Net Health, a Pittsburgh-based health technology company. Colletti will be the first to tell you that founding the company wasn’t easy, with ups and downs and times when it might not have survived. There was a point, early in Net Health’s history, where the company had no cash flow nor a way to create products. Colletti lived with the concern that not only would he lose his job, but the company wouldn’t exist.
Episode 59 features a great conversation with Patrick Colletti, Author of Refounder. Patrick talks about his entrepreneurial background and his inspiration for writing Refounder.
