About the Book
The First-Time CEO is a book about what it really means to lead while becoming — told through 50 conversations with first-time founders, seasoned leaders, and the experts who guide them. In an era obsessed with certainty and success, this book explores the truth behind both: that leadership is not a destination, but an unfolding. Through candid interviews and personal reflections from my own journey running a tech startup, I invite readers into the raw, unpolished reality of modern leadership — where courage is often quiet, growth is rarely linear, and becoming is the work itself.
