Acetech Member Exclusive: Strategies to Scale Your Business, Not Your Head Count
A founder and CEO session on sustainable growth, intentional leadership, and scaling smarter with the team you have.
In this Acetech member-exclusive session, Natasha Jeshani, President and CEO of Career Contacts, will lead an honest conversation for tech leaders on how to unlock capacity, growth, and innovation with the team you already have.
We’ll explore what it means to lead with focus and empathy in a “do more with less” environment - retaining great people, staying transparent through change, and building trust even as organizations evolve.
Key themes include:
Retaining and motivating teams in a “do more with less” era
Growth, letting go, and navigating change in your workforce
Intentional leadership and responsiveness - what we owe to those who stay after layoffs
Why AI doesn’t erode trust, but lack of transparency does

We’ll wrap up the session with a fast-paced round of “Your Burning HR Questions Answered.” This is your chance to get candid, practical insight on the toughest people challenges you’re facing right now – from hiring and performance to restructuring, remote work, compensation, and everything in between. Submit your questions here; we’ll group themes and answer as many as possible live. All questions will be kept completely anonymous.
