About this episode

Can your people scale as fast as your product? Spoiler: they can’t - and they’re not meant to. In this powerful episode, Josephine Palermo speaks with Nahed Khairallah, a global HR strategist who has helped rocket startups from 7-figure beginnings to 9-figure enterprises across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Nahed unpacks the uncomfortable truth: people don’t scale -systems do. And if you want to grow fast without breaking your culture, you need a jet-fueled HR strategy.
