How did a new CEO navigate leadership succession — and transform cultural norms?

Listen now to our conversation with Sabrina Parsons as she tells the story of her transition to CEO of Palo Alto Software, and shares how she has been leading a change of corporate norms not only in her own company but in the technology industry as a whole, and even in the world.

We discuss:

  • The keys to her successful transition to CEO of the company he father founded
  • How her passion to “treat employees as people first” led to a transition of cultural norms
  • Two ideas you can immediately use for creating new beneficial norms in your company


[Note: To hear the story of how Palo Alto Software was founded and grew into a successful multi-million dollar company, listen to Episode 16, featuring our conversation with Tim Berry, Founder & Chairman]
