If you want a CEO role, you have to prepare for it with a vengeance.

I need to aspire to be a great CEO and not just a great product engineer.

I seek out a lot of advice from other CEOs.

Nobody knows how to be a CEO. It's something you have to learn. It's a very lonely job.

I've been wondering for a while now if the CEO role is one that I want - and the one that I'm best at.

As the CEO, I have to take care of the short term, mid term and the long term.

No one is born a CEO, but no one tells you that.

I do not want to be a long-term CEO.

You need to have a great support around you, people that empathise, understand and yet support, because these CEO jobs are all-consuming.

Talent is the No. 1 priority for a CEO. You think it's about vision and strategy, but you have to get the right people first.
