Hear from Brian Sharples, Cotter Cunningham, and Jag Bath, 3 successful CEOs who have built significant consumer-facing tech businesses to find out what life is like after their companies have been acquired. Learn how acquisitions can usher in new eras of growth and hiring, how to nurture existing cultures, how to merge different ways of thinking when the acquiring company doesn’t have tech roots, and how to deploy strategies that enable future success.
