Q. On leaving a larger business to be CEO of a smaller company
Yes, I was running a very large P&L in my previous organisation, but it was still a P&L. And what I got an opportunity to do is to look at a complete balance sheet of a company. And I think that’s something which excited me.
I must also say that I have built scale many times in my life, and I’ve also built scale and handed over to somebody else to build it further as well. Therefore, scale should not be the only consideration all the time. It’s also the specific situation, and the opportunity here was fantastic.
