Background

In this Connexi podcast, Daan De Wever, founder and CEO of cloud communications company Destiny (founded 2008, ~300 people across Belgium, the Netherlands and France), walks through three turning points in his life. He recounts quitting school without a diploma, working in construction as a topographer thanks to people who believed in him, and how that shaped his belief in hiring on drive rather than diplomas. He explains how surviving the 2008 crisis  -  after taking over loss-making assets from a bankruptcy  -  taught him to keep investing through downturns, to bring in leaders better than himself (an external CEO he learned from until 2015), and to put the company above his own ego. Finally, he reflects on how the Corona lockdown exposed the physical toll of his adrenaline-fueled travel schedule and taught him the value of slowing down, balance and gratitude for having choices.
