Shownotes

In the inaugural episode of The Breakout CEO: Inside the Strategic Moves of Scaling CEOs, Jeff Holman speaks to the CEO at DevSquad, Phil Alves. Phil shares his journey from Brazil to building a scalable SaaS development company in the U.S. He discusses the challenges of scaling a service business, the importance of team structure, culture, and playbooks, and Phil’s focus on sustainable, bootstrapped growth over chasing venture capital.

Phil highlights his breakout moment, his philosophy on risk, and how DevSquad maintains quality by limiting clients and planning growth.

Listeners are encouraged to nominate CEOs with compelling breakout journeys.
