Building a Company with a Growth Mindset

Interview with Carl Herberger, CEO of Corero Network Security

Our guest on the show this week was Carl Herberger, the CEO of UK-based Corero Network Security. When I met Carl H. at Planet Microcap Las Vegas this year, I knew I had to have him on the podcast. I don't come across many microcap companies that are developing a real niche in cybersecurity and partnering with large public companies to assist in threat mitigation. In this this excellent conversation, we covered:
·      What he thought was so compelling about the opportunity to lead Corero;
·      Where the company’s products play in the cybersecurity ecosystem;
·      How a small company lands partnerships with well-known, large companies;
·      Ways in which AI is going to impact the cybersecurity market going forward; and
·      How he is currently balancing the tension between achieving growth and better profitability

Please enjoy the full interview here:

Carl joined the company at the beginning of the year. Whenever I talked to a person who is new to a role, I am always curious about the reasons why someone takes one leadership job over another. For Carl, one of the major reasons was the potential growth at Corero. In this clip, he discusses what type of leader is required for a company in its growth stage.

We have a bunch of compelling interviews in our backlog that we will be releasing over the next few weeks. Please stay tuned for more episodes of the one and only Compounders podcast.

Have a nice weekend,
