How I became a CEO: a chat on career goals and achievements with Dr Holly Reeve
Where does the journey to becoming a CEO begin? Dr Holly Reeve looks back at her career and shares the path that led her to start and lead her own company. Dr Holly Reeve is the CEO and co-founder of HydRegen, a chemical manufacturing company with a focus on sustainability.
In this episode with hosts Linus Milinski and Thomas Nicol she looks back at her beginnings and what now seems to be a very straight career trajectory that can be summarised by “got results, thought they were relevant, started a company”.
But nothing is as easy as it seems, and she shares with us her journey and the ups and the downs that turned her from a PhD to a successful CEO.
