Why This CEO Works 15-Hour Days Across Two Continents
Q: What's your perspective on balancing work and family life given the long hours and travel?
You have to be present when you're with family, but the nature of leadership means some travel and hours are unavoidable; the goal is to maximize quality time and gradually shift toward more sustainable routines as the business matures.
Why This CEO Works 15-Hour Days Across Two Continents
Q: How do you manage the split in time, attention, and travel between Europe/M Middle East and Mexico?
It requires scheduling discipline, clear boundaries, and leveraging a strong CTO and team to handle daily operations while I provide guidance when needed; the real challenge is aligning different markets without losing focus on the core platform.
Why This CEO Works 15-Hour Days Across Two Continents
Q: If you'd go back to 2022 when you first founded Winpot, what's something you would have liked to know back then?
There were periods where I felt I had bitten off more than I could chew and felt lost at times, but the core takeaway is that everything would be okay, and that you should speak to people and share problems rather than bottling them up.
