About CXO Conversations

CXO Conversations joins business leaders as they share their personal journey to the top: where they started, how they got here, and any advice they may have for those of us on the way. I'm your host, Michael Mitchel. For more than twenty years, I've been a search consultant, specializing in hiring for executive positions. Through my boutique search firm, OC National Search, I work with clients ranging from startups, middle market to Global F10 companies. In 2019, I started CXO Conversations as a way to connect more deeply with my clients and community in Colorado. You'll hear from people from startups to global brands, from tech to energy, and the occasional astronaut. Join me today and kick start your leadership journey.
