Pathways to the C-Suite: Executive Leadership through Growth-Stage & Emerging Companies
Join Jane Kiernan, CEO, Surgimatix, for an executive leadership conversation exploring how career paths starting in diversified companies may be best to thrive in growth-stage & emerging companies.
Drawing from her own journey, Jane will share insights on taking strategic risks, building influence in lean organizations, and leveraging broader responsibility to develop enterprise-level leadership skills.
This session will examine key inflection points, lessons learned, and the unique opportunities smaller organizations offer for visibility, impact, and career advancement if one is ready and willing. Designed for professionals aspiring to senior leadership, or those advising others on their career paths, this discussion provides practical guidance on navigating leadership growth outside of traditional large-enterprise tracks.
