Zoisa North-Bond (CEO of Octopus Energy Business & Generation) talks with Xquadrant's Founder Richard Medcalf.
We're continuing our season on "Secrets of Scaling", where the CEOs from some of the fastest-growing companies in Europe and the USA (as measured by the Financial Times top 1000 rankings) share what's propelled their growth, what's held them back - and explore what it will take to reach the next level.
Octopus Energy is the 23rd fastest-growing company in Europe, according to this year's Financial Times listing.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
- The two "Amazonian" business levers that Octopus Energy has focused to create a $2B business in just 5 years
- What the difference is between Growth and Scaling - and why both are important
- How Octopus Energy has created a culture of ownership, where everyone takes responsibility
“We don't have HR because we believe that managers should manage people."
