Episode notes

Most leaders learn to read a company by its story. Colleen Gallagher learned to read it by its numbers. In this episode, AJ Vaughan sits down with Colleen Gallagher, CEO of Textio, the HR technology company that has spent more than a decade helping some of the largest organizations in the world write sharper job postings and make better hiring decisions. Colleen did not come up the traditional people path. She started in consulting, running diligence on companies being bought, sold, and financed, learning to assess a business fast by how it made money and where it put that money to work. That foundation carried her from CFO to COO to CEO of Textio, and it still shapes how she leads.
