Join us for the Founders' Leadership Series with John Suh, CEO of LegalZoom
John Suh, CEO of LegalZoom, in a candid leadership conversation with Bruce Aust, Vice Chairman of Nasdaq & President of the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center
A serial Internet entrepreneur himself, John Suh recognized that founders want to focus on their products, customers & teams rather than what he calls the necessary evils' of law & tax. Joining LegalZoom as CEO in 2005, John is on a mission to democratize law. A self-described supply-chain guy,' he's grown his team to over 1,000 employees who continue to innovate under the guiding premise that legal help should be available to everyone.
LegalZoom is a disruptor, moving with quickness & agility, that has successfully battled an entrenched industry creating a whole new class of accessible tools & products. Over 15 years, LegalZoom has evolved from self-help software to offering a full range of small business & personal products, even owning their own UK law firm. As the world's largest former of small businesses, helping over four million people with their legal needs & completing over 200,000 one-on-one consultations with entrepreneurs, their impact is clear.
While the metrics are impressive, John is perhaps proudest of the human potential that LegalZoom has unlocked for its customers & employers. Praised for their outstanding company culture, John believes that positive morale comes from actions, not slogans, it's no wonder that Zoomers' see themselves as part of a family. And that notion of community isn't just from the lawyers who leave their traditional firms for more purpose, flexibility & better work/life balance.
In this intimate forum, understand why John believes continuous learning creates an empowered workforce & that evolution is a group effort. Hear how he fosters a creative & strategic mindset for his team by reducing their fear of failure & supporting their personal career development. Also, learn why John strives for his company to be like a shark & what he sees as the keys to survival in our increasingly complex & connected world.
