Today’s guest is David Delaporte, CFO of Drifta.

Drifta was a company affected by Covid and we speak extensively about the challenges he had when the borders shut. Having a business that relies on freight and logistics, it wasn’t easy.

We cover a range of topics in this episode including:

Adjusting to remote work. Taking on considerable responsibility early on in one’s career and what that means for future success. Advice David received from a career counselor early in lifeHow a fateful discussion with a cleaner changed the way he thought about management. How taking more of an interest in the business you work in gives more context and more value to the numbers. We talk about imposter syndrome and how it can impact your career.And discuss how to help underperforming teams improve.

Sumith Dissanayake and Jack Ferguson co-hosted this episode.
