Structuring fast growing companies – small businesses don’t work, people do!

Presented by Rod Drury, Chief Executive Officer, Xero, WELLINGTON

Startup growth can happen really quickly, and it can be hard to predict ahead of time.

Look at companies like Facebook and how fast they are growing. In just a few short years Facebook has grown from a few guys in a dorm room with not an ounce of business experience between them, to a company with over a thousand staff! Can you imagine what that sort of growth must be like? How do you make sure you don’t go off the rails? How do you keep delivering product excellence? How do you keep the right culture in the company? How do you hire the right people and so many of them?

RSVP today - there are only 20 seats available. This event is for IAB NZ members only and free
