What does it really take to become a CEO – and how do you prepare to eventually step away? In this remarkably candid conversation, Vince DiPofi, CEO of SSOE Group, peels back the curtain on his leadership journey from drafting board to corner office, revealing the personal transformation required to lead a global engineering firm.
"You don't know what it's like until you're actually in the seat," DiPofi confesses, describing the overwhelming feeling of responsibility for 1,500 employees and countless clients. Taking the helm in January 2020, his leadership was immediately tested by the pandemic, forcing him to lean on crucial advice: "Just because you're the new guy, you don't get to make bad decisions."
