Does your team hesitate to move quickly? 

Are you concerned that by completing tasks too quickly, they'll overlook crucial details?

Fredrik Thomassen, CEO and Co-founder of Superside, thinks you should be more scared of the opposite. In his words, “speed is safety”. 

In episode #174, Fredrik explains why speed, kindness, and truth-seeking are core values at Superside and helped the company scale to over 700 employees in 8 years. He also explains why focusing on “unblocking” employees is crucial in a high-growth environment and how to do so gracefully. 

Fredrik has a diverse background. Prior to his current role as the CEO and Co-founder at Superside, he was the CEO and Co-Founder at Zalora, Indonesia’s largest fashion e-commerce company. He also worked as an Associate at McKinsey & Company and as a Journalist at Agderposten. He has served in the Royal Norwegian Navy as well.

Fredrik is passionate about decentralized organizations, organizing company values, and how to constantly improve how companies work on a large scale. 

Tune in to hear all about Fredrik’s leadership journey and the lessons learned along the way!
