Radical Transparency in Business - Kevin Akeroyd
My guest this week is Kevin Akeroyd, a veteran tech CEO with a career spanning Fortune 500 giants, private equity powerhouses, and venture-backed disruptors. He’s currently leading Sovos, a PE-backed tax and compliance AI SaaS platform. Before that, Kevin was CEO of Magna Global, the world’s largest contingent workforce technology provider. And prior to that, he took Cision public on the New York Stock Exchange in 2017 as its CEO.
Early in his career, he held president-level roles at both Oracle and Salesforce, and before that, he drove four successful exits at VC-backed startups. Outside the boardroom, he’s a father of five and a sports, music, wine, and travel enthusiast. Kevin also studied at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the University of Washington.
Before I bring him on, I’ll add that he’s also a dear friend, a mentor, a fellow sports nut, and someone I had the pleasure of working with—and for—at Oracle.
