Manage episode 312609073 series 3239028
Few people have seen technology company Boards of Directors from as many perspectives as Christa Quarles. From her early career as an Analyst on Wall Street to her role as CEO at OpenTable, she learned from and worked with the best in the industry.
In this episode, we discuss what her equity research experience taught her that made her a good Board member. We also discuss how to interact with your Board as an executive when your acquisition pace is high (i.e. acquiring 8 companies in 8 months), her journey from CFO to CEO at OpenTable, and why you need to make it unsafe for Boards not to take risks. We zoom in on the breaking points of companies in terms of number of employees and she explains why 150 is remarkable in particular.
