Executive Forum

Right Leader, Right Season: Are You Still the CEO Your Company Needs?
Thursday, September 17th
Horizon Organic Dairy
12303 Airport Way, Suite 200, Broomfield, CO 80021

What This Roundtable Discussion Will Cover:

• Diagnosing your season. Naming where your company actually is right now — scrappy growth, scaling operations, margin pressure, or preparing for sale or succession — and why that diagnosis changes everything about how you should lead.
• The leadership traits each season demands. Why the visionary risk-taker who launches a brand is often the wrong person to run a 9-figure operation, and how to honestly assess whether your strengths still fit.
• CPG-specific pressure points. Leading through retail consolidation, margin and input-cost squeezes, co-man and supply-chain scale, and the moment a founder-led brand has to professionalize its team.
• Making the hard call. When the right move is to evolve yourself, bring in complementary leaders, or step aside — and how to do it without losing the soul of the business.

Discussion Questions:

• What season is your company truly in right now — and is it the same one your calendar and your team think it’s in?
• What’s the single leadership strength that built your brand that may now be holding it back?
• If you brought in a CEO from outside tomorrow, what’s the first thing they’d change that you’ve been avoiding?
