Our special guest is James Mitra, Founder of JBM, an executive search firm that specialises in placing COO’s.
In this episode we get his experiences on the following questions:
When a CEO comes to you and says “we need to hire a COO”. What is your approach
What is your take on “assignments”?
What does that salary equity band situation look like right now?
What advice do you give to women or to others who might not, who might be accepting less than they should?
What is your take on back channel references?
