In this episode, we speak with Andres Richter, CEO of EMET Group, a Tel Aviv–listed services giant with 1,700 employees worldwide. Andres isn’t your typical corporate leader. A turnaround and M&A expert, he stepped into his role in October 2023-just as war broke out-and has already led three successful acquisitions. Previously, as CEO of Priority, he quadrupled the company’s revenues and workforce. Beyond the boardroom, he’s a former IDF special forces officer, an ultramarathon runner, a volunteer in elite-reserve units, and a mentor for at-risk youth. He thrives on challenges-whether in business, endurance sports, or life itself. “I'm a challenge guy. I live from project to project. I get somewhat bored if I do not have an impossible project in front of me.” This episode is about leadership, resilience, and the discipline of making bold visions real. In this conversation, we explore: • Leading through others, not being a solo expert. “I'm not the best technician, I'm not the best marketing guy, I'm not the best sales guy. I'm one of the best managers in terms of putting the strategy, making a certain level of plans, and making sure that the entire team works.” • The necessity of change. “I think that people, companies, and organizations in general have to keep changing. And those who don’t change stay behind.” • Sports as a metaphor for business. “There are people who can stand up from a couch and do a marathon. I'm not like this. I'm not the fastest, I'm not the thinnest, I'm not the youngest… But if you have a plan, and sufficient time, everything is doable.” • Failing without fear. “The older I get, I'm less worried about failing, because I know I could fail. I have failed. It's not that I’ve been 100% successful. So maybe with experience, I’m less afraid of failing, but I do plan to make sure that the impossible is possible.” • Breaking down the impossible into steps. “If I understand how to move from one to 100, (not from one to 1000 - that’s impossible to imagine) - but if I can imagine how to get from one to 100 in a few steps, I know I’ll be able to move from 100 to 2000.” • Finding joy in progress. “I really enjoy looking back and saying, ‘Listen, I started here, look where I am.’ Those are moments of joy for me.” This episode is for anyone who’s ever faced overwhelming challenges and wondered how to move forward. It’s for leaders who want to harness resilience, adapt through change, and build teams that thrive under pressure. 🎧 Listen in - and share it with someone who’s ready to turn the impossible into possible.
