My Interview with Peter Mazoff, President and CEO - GOLO Mobile (now Usewalter)

I’m meeting with Peter Mazoff,  President and CEO of GOLO Mobile (now Usewalter).

And as he mentioned during our interview, the way you approach people as a leader is not a one size fits all solution, and it’s especially true when you’re building a culture remotely.

He’s sharing with us the challenges of the last year, and how creating relationships and building trust is crucial, but not always easy in the remote context we’re in. He’s sharing what he has learned and how he transformed as a leader in the last 10 years.  And as a Bold Leader, he also shares how he manages his energy and intensity.
