Welcome to the second episode of our Founder Success podcast series: Second Thoughts. On this podcast we expose the unfiltered truths of scaling a company, the tough calls, the mistakes, pivots and breakthroughs that follow. In each episode we speak to a founder that has been there and done it to discuss the biggest lessons they learned. This time, we are joined by Oana Jinga, co-founder, Chief Commercial and Product Officer at Dexory.
- As a business leader, when it comes to moving away from founder-led sales, Oana mentioned that she never lost touch with the nuts and bolts of the workflow of her business meaning she could tell a great story in pitches.
- When making senior hires, Oana discussed how it’s also a good time to start rolling out value proposition, business playbooks, FAQs and pricing models.
- If your business is starting to scale, there may be some employees who still operate with that mindset, some will adapt to moving from an R&D mindset to a growth mindset, but Oana mentioned that it’s worth monitoring whether this behaviour is being exercised.
Welcome to Second Thoughts
As Founder, you are constantly making big decisions that ultimately impact the future of your startup. We understand that it’s hard to know whether you’re getting it right.
In this podcast, I speak with experienced founders about the decisions they'd rethink, the lessons they learned and the things they wish they'd known, so you can avoid the same mistakes along the way.
This week I am joined by Oana Jinga. Oana is multi-talented and is co-founder, Chief Commercial and Product Officer at Dexory. Dexory is revolutionising the warehousing and logistics industry with AI-driven automation and advanced robotics and it’s going from strength to strength having raised $165 million during their Series C round which closed back in October 2025.
