Episode notes

We traveled to Gothenburg to sit down with Jean-François Mady, CFO of Polestar. We discussed the delicate balance between rapid global scaling and the roadmap to profitability: On scale: “If you do not reach a sufficient scale, you will never be able to absorb the investment and the fixed costs of your organization.” On agility: “If you want to transform a company like Polestar, which is still loss-making, speed really matters.” On strategy: “The hardest trade-off is choosing not to grow. Because there are opportunities everywhere.”
