Joining the Dots w/ Sankar Narayan, CEO SiteMinder [S3.E3]

Sankar Narayan, the CEO of SiteMinder is my guest today and the
tapestry of his career is equal parts fascinating and inspiring.
Born into the India middle class, Sankar has swung from the
branches of a variety of roles across the US and Australiatech
scene that have enabled him to bring a unique perspective to his
current role. Sankar has become one of Australia’s scale up
experts, cutting his teeth at Xero as both he CFO and COO, and
now as CEO of SiteMinder, a billion dollar, truly global, fast
growing Australian technology success story. From managing
founder transition and other stakeholders as a business grows,
Sankar gives wonderful insight into not only what it takes to
scale the soft skills required as a CEO, but also how he thinks
about the vertical Saas playbook and how that is currently
playing out at SiteMinder.


SiteMinder has a massive opportunity ahead of it – already the
dominant player worldwide and yet hardly penetrated into its
market, Sankar’s expertise in scaling both system and processes
and cultures will hold the business in great stead on this next
stage of its growth journey.
