CEO in Manufacturing5 years ago

As a CEO of a startup company I am focused on a few critical areas. Go to market strategy, customer engagement, revenue conversion, product alignment / roadmap, fundraising, recruiting and employee engagement / satisfaction. There are many others but these are top of mind for me now. I assume this list will differ with each role, level, age and size of company, etc.
