Philip Ogilvie on Employee-Ownership and Salary Transparency

EP 271 - Joining us for our first episode of 2024 is Philip
Ogilvie, Managing Partner at Applifting, an international
software development studio tailored for start ups, scale ups and
enterprises.


Our chat with Philip unravels the inner workings of Applifting,
from its company dynamics to the nitty-gritty of structure,
culture, and ethics. We debate employee-owned companies and
salary transparency — does it elevate or deflate a business? We
also hear about Philip's days on the professional rugby field and
why he thinks communication has become a lost art in the business
world.
