In this session, Kia Phillips (EY’s first ever Entrepreneur In Residence) will share her journey as a 5x tech company founder, her learnings along the way and the vital importance of building a solid, scaling culture that embraces the diversity of your team.
Kia will talk about the challenges when dealmaking and partnering with companies with different cultures and sizes, and how to attract and retain the very best people.
There will be other entrepreneurial leaders in the room and Kia will facilitate a discussion to share learnings – which can then continue over networking drinks!
You’ll walk away with insight, ideas and practical advice on how to accelerate your success by focussing on your culture.
After 20+ years as a tech entrepreneur, Kia has followed the path less travelled and looped back to the corporate world, joining EY as the firm’s first ever Entrepreneur In Residence, globally. She believes we are living in turbulent times and there is a huge need and market opportunity to nurture and support entrepreneurial thinking in companies of all sizes. Kia is a Fast Growth Leader, leveraging resources across EY to build out large scale support for entrepreneur-led, fast growth companies on their journeys from start-up to unicorn.
