Welcome to Confessions of an Implementer, a podcast by Talent Harbor. We share unique stories of implementers and the companies they’ve transformed to give you a rare glimpse into the system\’s successes and challenges. I\’m your host, Ryan Hogan.
Let’s dive in!
In this episode, host Ryan Hogan is joined by the redoubtable Laurens van Hoorn, Certified Implementer, and formerly Apple. Now, Laurens is a seasoned entrepreneur himself and his is a remarkable story of scaling up one of Apple\’s first European distribution companies. Navigating the burgeoning tech landscape during Apple\’s uncertain early years was a formative time for Laurens, and in this episode, he spotlights the transformation that he noticed in Steve Jobs’ second tenure – what was different, what had he learned? Together, Ryan and Laurens get into the weeds of the visionary-integrator dynamic, lessons in diversification, and the critical elements of business success. Distribution may seem like the more unglamorous element of driving innovation, but it’s not something you can do without.
