What if delivering ‘good enough’—openly and together—created better outcomes than chasing perfect in silence?
Felipe Cornejo, CEO and founder of Devsu, leads teams across Ecuador and the U.S., serving clients throughout the Americas. Early on, a live ESPN launch nearly went sideways when performance tests were missed—and the team hesitated to surface the risk. That moment catalyzed a leadership stance Felipe holds to this day: radical transparency with clients and teams, paired with a pragmatic bias for progress over perfection.
In this conversation, Felipe shares how he bridges U.S.–LATAM culture with intentional nuance, why he treats micromanagement as a temporary teaching tool (not a personality), and how he measures his own leadership by the outcomes his teams achieve together. He opens up about decision-making traps (hello, analysis paralysis), his reflective “retro” practice, and the discipline of building an institution that outlasts any single leader.
Why it matters: In a world moving faster than our planning cycles, leaders win by telling the truth early, aligning on a shared goal, and iterating toward it—together.
