Congrats!
Don't worry too much about replicating the successes of your previous CEO. Do your own thing, your own way. Everyone will adjust eventually. You were chosen for a reason. Congratulations!
This was grounding, thank you.
Wow i would love to hear about your journey!
I dont hear too much about internal female candidates being named successor
It’s a pretty progressive company, many women in leadership. However, I am taking the reins from a male predecessor. I’ve been with the company for 12 years, started in a mid-level role. As the company grew, I tried to keep my head above the water line so my boat floated up with it.

Start building relationships with the CEOs key contacts that you don’t know. Document details so you know who to go to to get things done.
Great idea, thank you!
