Investing and C-suite leadership are often difficult roles to enter because the skills, requirements, and backgrounds required for success are not always evident. While there are many paths to get there, one discipline offers a unique opportunity to prepare for both roles: business development (BD).

In our eBook, Finding the Path from Business Development to Executive Leadership, 9 successful CEOs and investors share their own journeys from BD and partnerships, sharing practical advice and insights for leveraging this experience to expand capabilities and earn a leadership position.
