Failing my way (in public) to success

How to build a successful career and be rewarded for it through tech acquisition


Listen Later

On the show today is someone i have known for since 2009, someone who today is going to share some real knowledge about building a career but also being part of business that got acquired for an 8 figure sum USD, earning a % of this,
He is on this show because he has some real insights into rising up the ranks, transferring from sales to a technical director and has a mindset and knowledge we should all look to reach,
With his straight talking and no bullshit attitude, he can be ruthless but he himself says he has learned to be more understanding and that has allowed him to excel.
What do we discuss on the show, see below.
promotion from sales director to technical director, not many people would be capable of that, could you tell me about how that was for you, challenges faced and what you learned?
Recently, BIOS was acquired by zaintech, part of Zain Group. Companies love an acquisition, what was it about BIOS that stood out to them and why couldn't they just do it themselves?
Sales is sales (is not correct) , especially with the type of service you offer, what are the mistakes you see sales people/ technical people making and what actions can people take to get better
People working in the middle east always give off this impression that it's easy for white British men but in an industry that is mostly Indian, Pakistani, Egyptian, Jordanian, how do you adapt?
What's been some differences that have happened (good or bad) since zain group?
I want to highlight as well (major point to this podcast really,) about building a career, showing your loyalty, getting rewarded for that and then the journey is getting even better because you’ve now been promoted again. Too much is pushed on people to be entrepreneurs and there is nothing wrong with building a career and having the success like you’re having.
Thank you for being on the show, Adam, your success is only just beginning.
