What's it like to move from software engineering to business management?

Learn from Trevor Ewen, the CEO of Southport Technology Group and Partner at Southport Ventures. With 12 years of experience as a software engineer and an MBA from Columbia Business School and London Business School, Trevor understands how software development maps to business skills.

In this episode, we discuss the journey of jumping from software engineering into business and the paths you can take to get there. We also discuss the difference between a tech-enabled business and tech company, the workload of a CEO, how to translate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, and how acquisitions work.
