Landing a senior leadership role with a private equity or venture capital-backed company requires a fundamentally different interview approach than traditional corporations. These organizations operate under unique pressures, timelines, and success metrics that directly impact how they evaluate executive talent. Join Michelle Merritt & Debra Boggs in this episode designed specifically for senior leaders navigating PE/VC-backed opportunities.
