I’m incredibly excited to be joined this week by Accurx CEO and Co-Founder Jacob Haddad! For those of you who aren’t familiar with Accurx (where have you been?!) they are a health tech company who specialise in delivery of communications software, primarily (to date) across the general practice landscape. Put simply; if you’ve had a text from your own GP, it’s likely to have been powered by the Accurx solution.
As Jacob is co-founder of one of the healthcare industry’s fastest growing tech company, it will come as no surprise to our regular listeners that I was keen to quiz him on all things leadership, as well as find out more about the Accurx journey more broadly (and a key shift in their product focus and delivery along the way).
So, listen now to find out more about:
-
Jacob’s leadership style
-
His role, responsibilities, and ambitions now (versus when he first started out)
-
What a typical week in the life of a health tech CEO looks like and what Jacob enjoys doing most
-
Recognising opportunities and how to make the most of the lucky breaks
-
Reflecting on mistakes and misjudgements and how they can still positively shape progress
-
Accurx company culture, structure, and evolution
-
Why maintaining a strong user focus has been fundamental in the Accurx success story
….and why post-it notes matter when it comes to marketing!
If you’d like to connect with Jacob, and / or find out more, he is contactable via Twitter or LinkedIn
