Christian Cotichini is CEO of HeroX and partner at TenX Ventures. Driven by a passion for creating something substantial from scratch, Christian discovered a knack for growing successful companies—exponentially. Surrounding himself with a rich pool of talent, he has learned the key ingredient to starting a successful company—putting the essential systems in place first, then launching it.
As CEO of HeroX, Christian designed a set of simple self-managing systems implemented in three parts: core team, operational team and outer team. The most important consideration for these “teams” to work properly is the consistent alignment of core values among them. With four start up companies designed with these systems, Christian emphasizes the importance of core values to executing operations successfully.
