I’ve spent many years learning what it takes to lead a successful start-up, now I coach founders and small business owners on the secret to leading successful organisations. This week on Purpose To Performance, I have Ed Ewer, the founder & CEO of SYR, helping me unpack the topic.
SYR is the new global marine recruitment agency disrupting the superyacht industry. The company is thriving, hitting all its growth and performance targets since its launch in February 2021. In this time, Ed has developed a strong team with a clear vision and shared values. He’s also created, a distinctive and sustained social media campaign has helped to establish the brand and build its reach. As a result, the business has established a strong portfolio of customers and developed an excellent reputation for service and delivery.
Like every start-up, it has taken a monumental effort from Ed to get the business to where it is today. Along the way he’s benefited from the guidance and support of a professional business coach.
