People Strategy is Business Strategy: Scaling Your Start-Up
Scott Chong is the founder of Kahawai Consulting and Day Zero Talent, where he helps startup leaders build the hiring and People systems that prevent expensive organizational debt before it starts. For more than 20 years, he has led talent and HR initiatives through hypergrowth, acquisitions, and turnarounds at startups and Fortune 100 companies. In this session, Scott will break down the People infrastructure founders need now, what can safely wait, and which shortcuts quietly become expensive problems later. He is an executive coach and an unapologetic believer that hiring people is only half the job. Setting them up to succeed is where the real work begins.
