Building and Scaling a Business Through Leadership, Adaptation and Delegation

What does it take to scale a founder-led business without losing focus, culture or momentum? In this episode of "The Innovation Imperative," Patrick Driscoll is joined by Partner Cliff DeGroot and Allie Persitz, an entrepreneur, operator and investor, for a candid conversation on building and scaling founder-led businesses. Drawing on her experience growing Dynamic Events and founding Hubb, Ms. Persitz describes how entrepreneurs can find product-market fit, hire for values alignment, delegate effectively and use data to guide growth and pivot strategy. The conversation also explores resilience through failure, the importance of adaptability during major market shifts and why strong legal and financial partners are critical to long-term success.
