Hanno Renner is the founder and CEO of Personio, an HR SaaS company on its way to becoming Germany's next unicorn. As a passionate skipper, Hanno tells us how he navigates his 500-employee ship and what he learned about sailing his team as servant leader through rough seas aka the Covid-19 crisis. We also learn from Hanno how Personio is set-up for rapid growth, the benefits of Metrics Monday, and how the M&A integration of the Spanish startup 'Rollbox' underwent. Additionally, Hanno shares how he balances his schedule being a CEO, triathlete, and business angel all at once. We also touch upon the early days: Hanno’s way to founding Personio, his prior startup idea “Feedbackme”, why he discontinued it, and how this entrepreneurial experience enabled him to realize the strong tailwind behind Personio in the first place. In the end, Hanno shares his productivity hacks with us, recommending his favorite books and tools!
