Billionaire CEO Advice

At 66, Chaudhry has established five different companies. His initial venture, SecureIT, was a cybersecurity company he co-founded with his wife in 1996. The company was sold for $70 million in stock in 1998. His most recent company is Zscaler, another cybersecurity firm founded in 2008, which currently has a market cap of $24.13 billion as of Wednesday. As the CEO of Zscaler, which employs over 7,000 people, Chaudhry’s net worth stands at $9 billion, according to Forbes.

When hiring new employees, Chaudhry frequently considers a key question to assess their suitability: “Are you a builder or an operator?”

Builders thrive in chaotic, dynamic environments. They excel in startups and informal settings where structure is minimal.

Operators, on the other hand, are essential for scaling and maintaining stability in more structured and established organizations. They are adept at managing processes and ensuring efficiency as the company grows.

Chaudhry emphasizes that embodying both roles throughout your career can be highly beneficial. Balancing the creativity and adaptability of a builder with the efficiency and organization of an operator can lead to greater career success and fulfillment. Read More -- https://voiceofentrepreneur.life/
