From Concept to £1bn: Duncan McIntyre on CEOs, Boards and Teams

Hear from Duncan McIntyre, former CEO of Morse PLC, which he grew from a small UK business to an international market leader, and was key in taking Monitise PLC from concept to a billion-pound valuation. He'll share honest insights on the three critical areas that define whether you scale successfully or struggle: evolving as a founder, building senior teams, and working with boards.

What You'll Explore

Founder Evolution: The introspective journey required to transition from doing everything to enabling everything, from solving problems to framing them, and learning when to step back from operational decisions.

Building Senior Teams: Understanding what you actually need, creating space for experienced executives to operate, and learning to delegate without losing your founder vision. We'll discuss common hiring mistakes and how to structure compensation conversations.

Board Dynamics: How to make use of board expertise effectively, manage different stakeholder expectations, and maintain founder authority while being accountable to seasoned directors.

This session provides learnings and practical insights from someone who has made the mistakes and learned what actually works. Co-hosted with Sheffield Haworth, this intimate discussion will give you frameworks and practical guidance to make the people decisions that define scaleup success.
