  • As a CEO, he need to balance customer service and what's best for his business during tough times. How does he approach this challenge?
  • How does he plan to find new customers and grow the business? What is his approach to marketing and sales for this growth strategy?
  • Are sustainability and social impact affecting his business? Have he considered setting sustainability goals? If yes, what are they?
