Startupland - Zendesk's journey from a kitchen table in Denmark to the NYSE - Interview with Mikkel Svane

Today’s interview is with Mikkel Svane, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Zendesk, a fast growing and recently listed (NYSE) cloud based customer service platform. Mikkel joins me today to talk about: Startupland: How Three Guys Risked Everything to Turn an Idea into a Global Business - his new book that tells the story of how they grew their cloud based customer service platform from a kitchen table in Denmark to Silicon Valley, a listing on the NYSE and customers in over 150 countries. This interview follows on from my recent interview: Do you know if you are irritating your customers? – Interview with Melvin Brand Flu of Livework– and is number 130 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders that are doing great things, helping businesses innovate, become more social and deliver better service.

Om Podcasten

An ongoing series of interviews where I, Adrian Swinscoe, interview leading entrepreneurs, leaders and thought leaders about how to deliver stand out customer experience and service. Essentially, I'm looking for practical clues that will help you build a business that both customers and employees love. Topics covered in the interviews include customer service, experience and engagement, employee experience and engagement, technology, adaptable and responsive organizations, high-performing teams and all such related issues. Note: This podcast series was originally known as the RARE Business podcast but rebranded in late 2019 on the back of the publication of my book: Punk CX.
