It ’ s this drive for continued scaling that keeps Greenwood hungry . “ I enjoy the journey , and the problem-solving , pushing the boundaries to ensure we see opportunities that others don ’ t ,” adds Greenwood .
Although there are challenges to being a CEO , such as figuring out “ where the pieces go in the jigsaw puzzle we ’ re building ”, Greenwood enjoys the challenge that being a founder and CEO brings .
“ I get restless if I ’ m not having an impact ,” notes Greenwood . “ As CEO , you have to do the blue-sky thinking and strategy building . There ’ s a journey element to what we ’ re trying to achieve . Completing these journeys is something I take great satisfaction from .”
However , for Greenwood , being CEO is more about the team than himself . “ When
someone joins the company in a junior role , seeing them two years later unrecognisable from when they arrived gives me great pride .”
Admitting he won ’ t be at Volt his whole life , the ability of the company as a collective to nurture and grow new staff is something that gives Greenwood gratification .
Of course , being a Voltologist means “ building the best products to beat the competition ”, and achieving personal growth comes through overcoming challenges .
Greenwood says : “ It ’ s about how we as an ecosystem can work together to challenge one another , to think outside the box and to problem solve , to break new ground and define our destiny through meaningful collaboration .”
