11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
How does a startup leadership team evolve as you grow from an idea in a slide deck to hundreds of people across continents?
In this live SaaS Camp session, we sit down with Kasper Hulthin, co-founder of Podio (acquired by Citrix) and Peakon (acquired by Workday for $700M), to explore how leadership teams are built, challenged, and transformed across the SaaS growth journey.
Kasper will share stories and lessons from his experience scaling successful startups, covering:
- Early-stage founder dynamics and role division
- Building the first layer of leadership beyond the founding team
- Hiring and developing leaders aligned with culture and growth
- SaaS-specific inflection points that shaped team design
- His personal evolution as a founder across two ventures
Whether you’re hiring your first VP or thinking about what kind of leadership your company will need at scale, this is a rare behind-the-scenes session with one of the Nordics’ top SaaS builders.
