Summary

The hardest part of transformation is knowing what to let go of. Dan O’Connell , now leading Front as CEO and formerly on the board at Dialpad, joins Joubin Mirzadegan to explore the delicate balance between legacy and innovation as he leads a decade old company through the AI revolution. He also reflects on why courage and control can coexist in leadership, and what it means to “make decisions that give you energy.” Guest: Dan O’Connell, CEO of Front ​ Connect with Dan O’Connell X LinkedIn ​ Connect with Joubin X LinkedIn Email: [email protected] ​ Learn more about Kleiner Perkins
