In this episode, I had an insightful conversation with Sunil Rajasekar, the CEO of Billtrust.

Billtrust is a cutting-edge financial services organization that provides cloud-based software and comprehensive payment processing solutions. Their goal is to enable finance teams to drive growth and to provide guidance and inspiration to businesses.

Sunil brings over 20 years of experience in the business software industry. Before leading Billtrust, he was the President of Mindbody, a prominent experience technology platform serving the fitness, wellness, and beauty sectors. Prior to that, Sunil held key roles as a General Manager at eBay and the CTO of Lithium Technologies. Additionally, he actively invests in and advises startups.

During our conversation, Sunil delved into his personal journey, sharing how he grappled with leadership challenges as a VP and how he realized the importance of adopting a leadership mindset as he transitioned to senior leadership.

This realization ultimately led him to develop the 8 tenets of leadership, which define his aspirations as a leader and provide support to other leaders within his organization.

In this episode I talked with Kendra Davenport, CEO of Easterseals.

Easterseals is a disability services organization which envisions all people having choices and opportunities to reach their potential.

Since 2022 Kendra has served as President and CEO of Easterseals and has also held other leadership positions at organizations such as Operation Smile, the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation, and Africare.

In this episode, she’s going to share how her tendency to be a control freak was causing all sorts of problems for her while she was serving as chief of staff at Africare, and how she was able to solve those problems and go on to be very successful as a leader, now serving as the CEO of Easterseals.
