Today we are happy to spend time with John Dillon, longtime CEO of private and public companies, currently at data company Aerospike. We often turn to John for reality checks: what’s it really like running a company from hiring the right head of sales to meeting with investors? Today we zoom in on the shareholder-executive relationship, and ask John what questions he would ask a CEO if he were in our position. John offers a number of illuminating questions but one of my favorite parts of this conversation, besides the great stories, is when John starts to unearth a major source of competitive advantage or weakness in our current time. I’ll give you a hint, it has to do with IT departments. I hope you enjoy it.
