In this episode, Marc catches up with Mimecast CEO and co-founder Peter Bauer. They cover Peter's CEO journey, including what it was like growing up in South Africa, why he opted out of attending university, highlights from Mimecast's 20-year history, and what Peter learned from taking the company public — and then private again.

You'll also learn: 


  • When and how to raise capital, and how to manage meeting the board's expectations. 

  • How CEOs can overcome self-doubt and continuously reimagine their role to look at challenges with new eyes. 

  • How to view the company's history as a story with chapters and eras, and why it's important to always believe you're at the beginning of the book.
