“In the long term, while there are strategies where Kurt and I will partner closely together, the most significant value this new Co-CEO relationship brings to Zwift is the ability for Kurt and me to divide and conquer. There is much work to do! For me, rather than being spread thin trying to do it all myself, I will have time to go deeper into specific areas that are also critical to Zwift’s long-term success.”
Hope this works out for the users with faster development and better QC.
That said most of the tech transitions I’ve seen where two people shared roles to ‘ramp-up’ the new VP/Exec (or simply to calm investors/partners) they state that out of the gate and give a long (up to a year) transition period. So, in those cases, it’s clear that the co-Exec role is a temporary one to create a smooth transition.
