What does it really take to thrive inside a private equity-backed company—especially when the stakes are high and the expectations even higher?

In this episode of The High Performance Sales Leader, Pree sits down with Maurizio Garavello, SVP at Qlik, whose global career has spanned IBM, Dynatrace, Websense, and Forcepoint. From leading in public companies to mastering the dynamics of private equity environments, Maury shares what it takes to not just survive—but scale with purpose.

We unpack what happens after the acquisition call: how to adapt, lead, and thrive when the rules change overnight. Maury shares raw lessons about fiscal discipline, people-first leadership, and balancing ruthless execution with long-term value creation.

Whether you’re a CRO, sales leader, or rising AE eyeing a PE-backed role—this episode is a masterclass in building high performance in high-pressure environments
