Tami Rosen

Companies do not scale in a straight line. They move through distinct phases of growth, reinvention, and resilience, each requiring different leadership decisions, operating models, and strategic priorities. Drawing on three decades of experience scaling organizations across startups and Fortune 100 companies, Tami Rosen shares a practical framework for navigating the full business lifecycle, from early acceleration to hypergrowth, public markets, and periods of economic or organizational reset. Using real-world examples including Pagaya’s journey to IPO and leadership roles at Goldman Sachs, Apple, Atlassian, and Luminar, she explores how leaders align business strategy with people, culture, technology, and capital at each stage of scale. Tami highlights how emerging technologies, including AI, can significantly enhance performance and scale, while emphasizing that people and culture remain the true differentiators that determine whether technology creates lasting enterprise value. She also addresses the critical inflection points where companies stall or fracture, and how executive teams and boards can anticipate and manage those transitions. The session offers actionable insights for leaders and teams who are building resilient, growth-ready organizations that sustain enterprise value over time.
