Subject: Netskope CIO Mike Anderson on making the leap to a startup

Mike Anderson has a rare lens, that of a practitioner who has worn both the internal CIO hat and a customer-facing GTM hat. On the podcast, we unpacked some of the lessons from his career, including how to manage the balance between run-the-business and transform-the-business while building a culture that protects, inspires, and empowers people.

We spent some more time after the show diving into Mike’s practitioner point of view on Netskope’s journey from startup to IPO. In this article for my CIO Whisperers column, he shares the playbook he used to help scale a high-growth company. You don’t have to be chasing a bell-ringing moment to benefit from this. From operating choices to people practices to leadership habits, these are practical takeaways any leader can apply, regardless of situation or chapter.
