Today Rob van den Heuvel, CEO of Sendcloud, joins Richard Medcalf to discuss how he navigated almost 70% annual growth over several years to become Europe’s #1 e-commerce shipping platform.
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.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
- The "one location" strategy that has helped Sendcloud enter multiple markets effectively
- The most successful channel Sendcloud has found to recruit rare tech and sales talent
- How the CEO role will change as the company scales from 350 to 1500 people
"We thought culture was fluffy but ended up realising it's crucial."
