A great example of an executive who has led the rapid development of a business but drastically needed more mentorship would be Travis Kalanik formerly of Uber. Running a large and successful company well is much, much more than just generating revenue and valuation.
- johnmorrow 8y agoDidn't Sequoia invest in them too? You might be right but this is not the best example lol

- andrestan 8y agoThat's untrue. Uber lost huge amounts of market share due to the scandals in 2017.
