Join us on April 16 at noon for the next Scaling Montana Speaker Series, featuring Pete Roos, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer of Bridger Photonics, and the company’s new CEO, Ben Little. This session will explore how and when a company should transition leadership during a scale-up phase, particularly in deep-tech and engineering-driven organizations. They will offer a first-hand account from a company who is actively undergoing the transition.

Bridger Photonics has experienced record growth in the methane detection industry, prompting a strategic leadership shift to support its next stage of expansion. Pete and Ben will provide insights for technical founders and entrepreneurs on:

  • Why leadership transitions can be critical for scaling a technology company
  • How founders can decide when to bring in a new CEO
  • What skills are needed at different phases of growth
