In this episode of Shift & Thrive, Natalie interviews Sherri Davidoff, CEO of LMG Security. Sherri, a seasoned professional with over 16 years in the cybersecurity industry, shares her journey in leading her company, the challenges of bootstrapping a company, the benefits of becoming employee-owned, and the value of maintaining a flexible and supportive company culture. She provides insights into how her family’s entrepreneurial background influenced her leadership style and underscores the need for self-care among leaders. The conversation also delves into the impact of AI on cybersecurity and the necessity for continuous vigilance and adaptation.

Takeaways:

  • Adopt a deliberate pace. Implement the philosophy of “slowing down to speed up” to ensure thorough market readiness and internal alignment before executing major changes.
  • Maintain a culture of adaptability and responsiveness within your team, mirroring the advantages of a bootstrapped approach even as your organization grows.
