    This is a great podcast for hearing about the heroes of NZ business. Our country mainly celebrates sporting heroes but without these business heroes many many people would not have jobs.

I'm really good. Thanks for having me.
Neil Livingston: Kordia (Chief Executive Officer)
Q: What did you learn from your time at Ericsson and in Sweden about leadership styles?
He highlights non-hierarchical, transparent leadership, with a focus on giving every voice a say but making decisive, direction-setting choices rather than pure consensus.
Neil Livingston: Kordia (Chief Executive Officer)
Q: So tell us a little bit about where you grew up and your childhood.
Neil describes growing up in a small place near Napier, moving frequently due to his father's Posting service, which taught him adaptability and a comfort with change.
Jamie Beaton: Crimson Education (Founder and CEO) 2020 Interview
Q: How did you approach scaling internationally and choosing new markets?
Beaton describes being opportunistic, leveraging local partners, and following a playbook inspired by Uber for city expansion, establishing country managers, and selectively entering markets where partners understood the local context. He emphasizes a balance between market potential, talent density, and regulatory considerations.
Jamie Beaton: Crimson Education (Founder and CEO) 2020 Interview
Q: What were the early steps and the first version of Crimson like, in terms of offering and pricing?
The initial idea focused on providing a clear game plan for students to build their profiles for top universities, with a network of tutors and a strategist guiding them. Pricing reflected the value of access to elite mentors and the potential payoff of university placements; there was also a pro bono/discounted option for those with financial need to ensure access.
