Journey of Growth: From Startup Spark to Supernova

In this keynote, Ellen Sano takes us through the inspiring journey of growing Yuki from a small team of just 2 people to a successful company with more than 200 employees. Ellen shares her personal experiences in managing the ups and downs of this rapid growth, including insights into mergers and acquisitions, and the gut feelings that guided her key decisions.  A major focus is on the importance of putting people first in a business. Ellen explains how a people-centered approach not only builds a strong company culture but also leads to success. With engaging stories, reflections on her own strengths and weaknesses, and an open, interactive style, this presentation is set to inspire the audience with new ways to think about entrepreneurship, leadership, and the value of community in driving business success
