    Greg Munves, former CEO of 1010data
    Dec 11 2021
    Our second interview features Greg Munves, former CEO of 1010data.   Starting a successful tech company is hard, but hiring the right early employees is key. Companies that succeed usually do so because they have some synergistic combination of intuitive software, differentiated data, superior go-to-market advantage, and — crucially important in the early days of a company's existence — top-notch talent. Oftentimes we hear about the success of companies and founders that leverage these assets to bring forth products that do wonders for customers and entire industries. Less covered (or understood) are the personal journeys of the pivotal early employees that have a direct hand in shaping the success of those companies. Greg Munves’s personal journey provides us a stellar example of an early employee, someone with little experience straight out of college, who adopted a Derek Jeter-style can-do mentality — ultimately growing from a scrappy college-age employee with little experience in technology sales, to CEO and President of a company sold for a half-billion dollars eleven years later in 2015.
