Growth: the unexpected formula

Growth is hard for all companies, and sustaining that profitable growth is an even more difficult task. In this episode, Suzanne Bates sits down with Corey Thomas, CEO of Rapid7, to talk about his experience and success in leading growth in an industry-leading, IT security company. Since Corey took over as CEO in 2012, the company has gone public, more than quadrupled its revenues, as well as quadrupled its workforce. But this growth success did not come without some bumps in the road along the way. Corey discusses the challenges he has faced and the importance of leading and inspiring others in times of turmoil in order to achieve long term, sustainable growth.
