What really happens when the CEO–investor relationship breaks down?
In this bold first episode of The Modern CEO, Joe Leech and guest Paul Traynor (veteran VC and author) unpack the unspoken dynamics between CEOs and private equity investors.

- And what happens when trust breaks down at the top
No fluff nor filter but straight talk on what it actually takes to lead.
