In this special recording of the Cambridge Tech Podcast, we talk to guests Ray Anderson, Executive Chair of Bango, and Marc Rodríguez Garcia, CTO of Xampla, about how to scale smarter, not harder.
We’ll discuss how to thrive without chasing the next funding round and instead focus on the inflection points that signal the conditions necessary to scale. We will also consider the key attributes of leadership, including when to make changes.

With podcast hosts Faye Holland and James Parton.
