Leslie is a leader of people and companies.

Sargun Kaur, co-founder of Byteboard, aims to revolutionize the tech interview process, which she believes is flawed and ineffective. In an interview with The New Stack for our Tech Founder Odyssey podcast series, Kaur compared assessing technical skills during interviews to evaluating the abilities of basketball star Steph Curry by asking him to draw plays on a whiteboard instead of watching him perform on the court. Kaur, a former employee of Symantec and Google, became motivated to change the interview process after a talented engineer she had coached failed a Google interview due to its impractical format.Kaur believes that traditional tech interviews overly emphasize theoretical questions that do not reflect real-world software engineering tasks. This not only limits the talent pool but also leads to mis-hires, where approximately one in four new employees is unsuitable for their roles or teams. To address these issues, Kaur co-founded Byteboard in 2018 with Nicole Hardson-Hurley, another former Google employee. Byteboard offers project-based technical interviews, adopted by companies like Dropbox, Lyft, and Robinhood, to enhance the efficiency and fairness of their hiring processes. In recognition of their work, Kaur and Hardson-Hurley received Forbes magazine's "30 Under 30" award for enterprise technology.Kaur's journey into the tech industry was unexpected, considering her initial disinterest in her father's software engineering career. However, exposure to programming and shadowing a female engineer at Microsoft sparked her curiosity, leading her to study computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. Overcoming initial challenges as a minority in the field, Kaur eventually joined Google as an engineer, content with the work environment and mentorship she received. However, her dissatisfaction with the interview process prompted her to apply to Google's Area 120 project incubator, leading to the creation of Byteboard. Kaur's experience with Byteboard's development and growth taught her valuable lessons about entrepreneurship, the power of founders in fundraising meetings, and the potential impact of AI on tech hiring processes.Check out more episodes in The Tech Founder Odyssey series:A Lifelong ‘Maker' Tackles a Developer Onboarding ProblemHow Teleport's Leader Transitioned from Engineer to CEOHow 2 Founders Sold Their Startup to Aqua Security in a Year

Shanea Leven, co-founder and CEO of CodeSee, shared her journey as a tech founder in an episode of the Tech Founder Odyssey podcast series. Despite coming to programming later than many of her peers, Leven always had a creative spark and a passion for making things. She initially pursued fashion design but taught herself programming in college and co-founded a company building custom websites for book authors. This experience eventually led her to a job at Google, where she worked in product development.While at Google, Leven realized the challenge of deciphering legacy code and onboarding developers to it. Inspired by a presentation by Bret Victor, she came up with the idea for CodeSee—a developer platform that helps teams understand and review code bases more effectively. She started working on CodeSee in 2019 as a side project, but it soon received venture capital funding, allowing her to quit her job and focus on the startup full-time.Leven candidly discussed the challenges of juggling a day job and a startup, particularly after receiving funding. She also shared advice on raising money from venture capitalists and building a company culture.Listen to the full episode and check out more installments from The Tech Founder Odyssey.How Teleport's Leader Transitioned from Engineer to CEOHow 2 Founders Sold Their Startup to Aqua Security in a YearHow Solvo's Co-Founder Got the ‘Guts' to Be an Entrepreneur

As an aspiring young entrepreneur, Dean already had a vision of his own goals, and knew exactly what he wanted to achieve early on in his life.Coming from an average family without wealthy roots, Dean is faced with hardships. With his friends going to prison and his life seemingly passing him by at the age of 21, he decided to write down 10 things to ultimately achieve. Not even a decade later, he had achieved 9 of those 10 goals, and by the age of 40, he was able to finally fulfill the last one; meeting Prime Minister David Cameron. Now the holder of the fastest zero to exit sale offered by a recruitment company in the UK, Dean exited for an 8 figure sum at the age of 30, only nearly 3 years after starting! Still an active businessman, Dean is the founderof RealiseEd, which is an education agency that focuses on seeking out the best schools for their applicants, maximizing the best opportunities for their career in education. Dean is also the original NED advisor and investor of SourceBreaker, which is the 48th fastest growing tech company in Europe (FT 2019.) Tune in as we delve further into the various steps he took in order to set himself up for success and build the life he dreamed for himself. ********Topics discussed on the show:********Dean's StoryHaving a VisionWhat it takes to be a CEOHow to upscale your businessTaking away pains and giving gainsFinding your "Why"Knowing your milestonesWork SmartMust Do's for starting businessesMapping your SOPHire earlyMake Yoursrlf UncomfortableDon't think, just do********Where to find Dean:********His Website:Deanism.clubInstagram:@deanismworks

In 2013 Herrmann Arnold (at that time CEO and shareholder of Haufe-umantis AG) voluntarily stepped down as a CEO and appointed a former intern for the CEO position, because he was convinced that he wasn‘t the right person to continue the next growth stage of his company.

Shannon Byrne Susko isn't just a CEO, she's a serial entrepreneur, business coach, keynote speaker and the reluctant author of two best selling books. Recognised and named as one of Canada's Top 40 under 40 in 2000, Shannon co-founded, served as CEO and led the sale of two SaaS companies in less than 6 years, before turning her hand to business coaching in 2011.That's quite an achievement for someone who comes from, what she describes as, a pretty traditional household where dad worked, mom stayed at home and she was expected to go to university and then get married. “You know, I was like, that's not happening, I have things to do. I didn't know I was going to do these things. But I definitely knew like, no, I don't think so.”Looking back she realises that: “I didn't have a problem being a woman CEO. The problem is the old school thinking about women being CEOs. I didn't even think about it... tech was probably the most accepting industry of a woman CEO at that time, because we're all a bunch of geeks and geeks accept geeks, they didn't care.”In this hugely insightful episode, Shannon tells the incredible story of her rise to the top. Of her time as CEO, how she grew and sold two businesses in less than 6 years, of how she got Verne Harnish to help her get her company to a good place. As well as why she needed a mentor when she was running the show, why she's transitioned into a business, leadership and CEO coach and more importantly, why she wrote two bestselling books that she never wanted to write. On today's podcast:How her entrepreneurial journey began by simply wanting to solve a problemWhy she became CEOHow she got Verne Harnish to help her The less than traditional business things she did during her time at the helm3 HAGHow she ended up coachingThe inspiration for her two booksLinks:Verne Harnish - ScaleUp Summit3 HAG way
