Michelle Accardi, CEO of Liongard, on Why Societal Impact Fuels Long-Term Valuation
In todayโs episode of Wisdom From Wizards, I sat down with Michelle Accardi, CEO of Liongard, to ask a deceptively simple question:
Would you rather double your companyโs valuation or double your impact on society?
Michelle didnโt hesitate.
Her choice? Impact on society.
But she didnโt stop there โ she made a compelling case that focusing on impact actually leads to long-term increases in company value.
โIf I am driving a company that provides that level of impact, thereโs no way that valuation doesnโt follow.โ
This mindset shift is powerful for any CEO navigating a scaleup. In the race to grow revenue, acquire customers, and impress investors, itโs easy to overlook what actually compounds: trust, value delivered, and customer impact. Michelleโs insight reminds us that the companies that win in the long run are the ones that put people first.
