In episode 7 of our COO Secrets series, we spoke to Kevin Obi, an Independent Consultant and the ex-COO of Hive.

Kevin has a wealth of experience, having worked across a range of sectors over the last 25 years.  He has worked with some of the biggest brands, including Deloitte, Orange, Vodafone, and NBC, and currently works as a Senior Advisor and COO at a Private Equity and Venture Capitalist backed growth company.

In today’s video Kevin talks us through his diverse career and how his range of experience and roles were a great stepping-stone to becoming COO, despite recruiters telling him otherwise.
