Being a CEO is highly desirable by many with promising financial compensation, responsibility and involvement in many areas and great personal growth perspectives. What does it take to become a CEO in today’s VC-backed companies? What talents are required to get there? What do VCs, Angels and head hunters look for? What pressures are put on CEOs from their investors, board members, their employees, other constituencies and the global economy in general?

A distinguished panel of U.S. and Nordic venture capitalists, together with local Silicon Valley financiers and entrepreneurs, will discuss this very important subject.
