ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this Snippets episode, Leon Goren sits down with Craig McLellan, CEO of ThinkOn, to discuss what it takes to build a company that lasts through multiple technology cycles.
Craig reflects on one of the most difficult transitions leaders face: evolving from founder to CEO. He shares lessons learned scaling a business from a close-knit startup culture to a high-performing organization, why the people who help you reach one stage may not be the people who take you to the next, and how leaders can navigate those decisions thoughtfully.
The conversation also explores why leaders should approach AI with discipline rather than hype, how organizations can drive meaningful adoption, and what Canadian business leaders should be thinking about when it comes to sovereignty, innovation, and long-term competitiveness.
Listen in for a candid conversation on leadership, resilience, and the realities of building a lasting organization.
