Description

Today’s guest is David Delaporte, CFO of Drifta.

Drifta was a company affected by Covid and we speak extensively about the challenges he had when the borders shut. Having a business that relies on freight and logistics, it wasn’t easy.

We cover a range of topics in this episode including:

• Adjusting to remote work. 
• Taking on considerable responsibility early on in one’s career and what that means for future success. 
• Advice David received from a career counselor early in life
• How a fateful discussion with a cleaner changed the way he thought about management. 
• How taking more of an interest in the business you work in gives more context and more value to the numbers. 
• We talk about imposter syndrome and how it can impact your career.
• And discuss how to help underperforming teams improve. 

Sumith Dissanayake and Jack Ferguson co-hosted this episode.
