The CTO Show with Mehmet Gonullu · 2026-06-22 · 52 min
In this episode of The CTO Show with Mehmet, Mehmet sits down with Logan Yonavjak, Co-Founder and CEO of Founder Readiness Engine. Logan brings an investor and operator view into how founders and senior leaders can be assessed beyond resumes, charisma, and gut feel. The conversation reframes leadership assessment as a decision system, not a personality test. Logan explains how transcript data, developmental psychology, quantitative linguistics, and AI can surface signals such as coachability, identity flexibility, strategic complexity, relational intelligence, and resilience. The key tension is clear: AI can improve how leaders are assessed, but humans should not hand over agency to the machine. If you are investing in founders, hiring senior leaders, building leadership teams, or evaluating startup risk, this conversation gives you a sharper way to think about people analytics, founder readiness, and AI-assisted decision-making. About the Guest Logan Yonavjak is the Co-Founder and CEO of Founder Readiness Engine.
