Beskrivelse

In this episode of The Good Growth Podcast, we sit down with Sophie Birch, Head of Non-Executive Talent at BGF, to explore the true impact of non-execs and chairs in scaling businesses. She shares what sets standout NEDs apart (spoiler: culture fit matters), and how board composition should evolve as a business grows. We also dive into BGF’s thousand-strong talent network and the role of non-execs in strategy and exits, and how BGF is driving greater board diversity—with gender balance on shortlists. If you’re a founder looking for game-changing board support or an experienced leader considering a non-exec role, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

Smarter marketing for sustainable growth — with Maya Moufarek

In this episode of The Good Growth Podcast, we sit down with Maya Moufarek, founder of Marketing Cube and former CMO of Pharmacy2U, to uncover the key ingredients for sustainable growth—and why founders should rethink their approach to marketing post-investment. Maya shares how she helped shape Pharmacy2U’s rapid expansion, achieving the equivalent of opening an offline pharmacy every 2.5 days before a PE exit. She dives into the fundamentals of building a scalable growth engine, why customer insight is the most overlooked marketing tool, and how trust and segmentation played a crucial role in Pharmacy2U’s success. Plus, Maya explains why “channels come last”, the impact of AI on SEO, and why community-building will be more important than ever in the years ahead.
