    International Expansion and Execution: Locatrix CEO Scott Jackson

    “Leadership Quarterly Priorities  –  small cross-functional teams trying to solve something that's important for the quarter – are really the foundation of the execution machine and it's part of Scaling Up. It’s an execution weapon, if you can get it right... we’ve done over 60 of them.”  We’re joined by Scott Jackson, CEO of Locatrix, a safety-tech platform modernising fire compliance through digital mapping and emergency planning. Their platform is used by 2,000+ industry professionals, and services some of the world’s largest  property portfolios. Scott’s journey spans founding, exits, and now leading Locatrix through disciplined execution and international expansion, while anchoring culture in humility, gratitude, and hope.    In this episode, Scott shares:  • Using Leadership Quarterly Priorities (LQPs) to drive accountability and cadence  • Evolving a partner model from efficiency gains to global distribution  • Going international: regulation fit, product-market fit, and learning fast via trade shows  • Upgrading go-to-market: interim CRO impact, tighter segments, and hiring a Head of Growth  • Succession with integrity: COO → CEO and protecting culture through change Guest: Scott Jackson, CEO, Locatrix Host: Mark Bryan, Managing Director, Pemba Capital Partners Podcast Producer: Martine McMahon Ask a Question: Have something you'd like to ask the Pemba team? - email viewtothesummit@pemba.com.au Thanks for listening and keep striving for your next summit!
