Episode 203: New month, new podcast set-up! This week, Nat is over the moon to be recording from her new and improved podcast space in Miami, kicking this exciting chapter off with an episode you won’t want to miss. For the inaugural in-person recording, she’s joined by Tree3’s CEO, the incredible Katina Kenyon. With over 20 years of experience under her belt in corporate America, from leading high-power teams on a global scale at companies like Dell, founding her own company, and now taking over as CEO for Tree3, Katina is a wealth of knowledge and dynamic experience. Unlike the usual CEOs we encounter, she was hired on to take over the role at someone else’s company, offering a unique perspective and insight on the position that isn’t frequently discussed. The energy in the room is palpable as the two swap stories about their perspectives on the corporate world vs. the #startuplife, sharing their wisdom and sage advice for the aspiring entrepreneurs out there. 

 

Today’s episode dives into:  

  • Katina’s early days as a leader and her perspective on what it means to be one  
  • The fruitful benefits of working for a major corporation  
  • Networking and the influence it’s had on her career trajectory  
  • Leaving her role at Dell and founding her own company  
  • A breakdown of Tree3’s business structure and the process of becoming their CEO  
  • Utilizing user feedback and the importance of pivoting as a business 
  • How to build a thriving team both in person and remotely 
  • Katina’s true thoughts on the concept of "quiet quitting"  
  • The main differences she’s seen working at both large corporations and start-ups 
  • Her advice for aspiring leaders currently working in the corporate world
