A S BANKA ADVISORS

Founder or CEO?

Just helped a founder transition out of the CEO role to appoint an internal leader.

The tricky part wasn’t the handover, it was the incentives.

How do you ensure the new CEO acts like an owner?

We implemented a structured ESOP plan specifically for the new leadership layer. It aligns long-term growth with immediate performance.

If you are professionalizing your management team, don’t just give them a salary. Give them a stake.
