Balancing Instinct and Analytics, based on our work with Ganesh Gandhieswaran, CEO at ConverSight

Many CEOs stall growth by overanalyzing decisions instead of moving fast when the window of opportunity is open.

Having helped 50+ CEOs fueling millions in revenue growth, in the next 60 seconds I'll help you decide when to trust data and when to trust instinct so you can move faster with confidence. This is based on our work with Ganesh Gandhieswaran, CEO at ConverSight.

In our work together, we explore a tension every scaling CEO faces. Data creates clarity, reduces risk, and validates direction. But data rarely tells you what has never been done before. When you are building something new, entering a fresh market, or disrupting an old model, intuition becomes your early signal.

Our answer is not choosing one over the other. Lead with informed intuition, then validate quickly with data. Think of it as a 70–30 mindset. Your experience, pattern recognition, and customer proximity drive the initial call. Data then sharpens, corrects, and accelerates the execution.

This approach keeps you from freezing in analysis while still protecting you from reckless bets. For $1M–$5M CEOs, speed of learning beats perfection every time.
