On May 7, we partnered with Silicon Slopes to take Utah tech out of this world. This VIP evening was designed for CEOs, CFOs, and investors of Utah-based companies who are at the forefront of innovation. Our panel of leaders from Qualitrics, Adobe, Owlet, and WTC Utah shared their insights on the dynamic world of international scaling for tech companies
A few pieces of wisdom from our stellar (and SaaS-y) panelists:
"When we've expanded, the first person we hire is the leader." - Rob Bachman, CFO of Qualtrics
"Even though you can't know everything, you can go into it with your eyes wide open." - Wade Sherman, VP/deputy general counsel at Adobe
"Engage with companies like World Trade Center Utah, Utah Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity, etc. They're incentivized to ensure Utah companies like yours don't fail." - Tara Spalding, CXO and MD, international programs at WTC Utah.
"Knowing when to scale is crucial." - Kurt Workman, CEO at Owlet.
Special thanks to our host Adobe, WTC Utah members GPS Capital Markets, LLC and Tanner LLC, and beverage provider Moab Brewery!
