The Glovo delivery app's 26-year-old CEO, Oscar Pierre, spoke to Business Insider about how young CEOs should best manage older staff.
Pierre founded his Barcelona-based company in 2015 and is aged just 26. With a workforce of 1,200 people, it means his job involves managing people older than him — often more than twice his age, in fact.
Pierre continues:"I also think you need to be very conscious of how little you know. Thanks to my grandfather and my family, I knew from day one the importance of bringing [in] people who are very, very strong; being very humble with leading senior people, and giving them a lot of ownership." "Something good about being a CEO so young is that you aren't biased," he says."Everything is natural. For example, when we were still just 20 people as a company, we didn't have company computers for a couple of years.
