Hiring with Intention

Your early hires will shape your company’s trajectory long before your product or brand is fully formed. In this practical, interactive workshop, early-stage founders and operators will learn how to hire with clarity, confidence, and intention—without over-hiring, moving too slowly, or relying on gut feel alone.

Drawing on real-world experience as a founder, Chief of Staff, and fractional COO who has scaled teams from zero to acquisition, Nkem Oghedo will walk through how to identify when you actually need to hire, who to bring on, and what format makes the most sense (full-time, contract, fractional, or advisor). You’ll learn simple frameworks to translate milestones into roles, design a fair and focused hiring process, and build culture on purpose, not by accident.

Founders and operators will leave with actionable tools, clearer decision-making, and a stronger foundation for building teams that create real leverage.
