Hi there and welcome back to another edition of ScaleUp Radio, the podcast inspired by the Entrepreneurial ScaleUp System and designed to make navigating our ScaleUp journeys that little bit easier by learning from others' experiences.

I’m Kevin Brent today I’m joined by Logan Naidu, the founder and Group CEO of Kernel Global.

Logan takes us through his journey of scaling businesses, from his first recruitment firm to the success of Kernel Global, now a company with 250 staff across five offices. He shares invaluable lessons on the importance of assembling the right team, focusing on cash generation over revenue, and the critical role of culture and communication in scaling up.

Logan also discusses the impact of private equity investment in accelerating business growth, the innovative "classroom to boardroom" recruitment model, and the significance of aligning with the right investors.

This episode is packed with insights for anyone looking to scale their business effectively.

Make sure you don’t miss any future episodes by subscribing to ScaleUp Radio wherever you like to listen to your podcasts.

Most founders I speak to feel busy but stuck; plenty happening, but not always clear on what genuinely matters most this quarter. If that’s you, the G90 Summit is worth a look. A structured half-day where we work through everything competing for your attention, get clear on the three to five things that must happen in the next 90 days, then commit to them and build the system to make sure they actually happen. Quarterly, virtual, £97 a seat.
