About this event

All Together x Investec // A Three Things Event

The Founder’s Dilemma: Succession

When, how, and whether to hire in a CEO for founder-led and family-run businesses.

Are you planning an exit in a few years? Are you re-evaluating your priorities post-COVID? Would you like to step back from day-to-day management, or move sideways to focus on what you love? Have your board or investors suggested it might be time for a CEO to take over?

With a panel of expert founders and CEOs all offering their Three Things – three pieces of actionable advice – we unpick real life examples, what’s worked and what’s hardest, and debate when, how and whether a founder or family-run business should hire in a CEO.

Followed by break-out workshops, drinks and canapés.
