Leadership Lessons from Infranode’s CEO
Nyhet
Christian Doglia, Founding Partner & CEO at Infranode, is one of the speakers in Novare Accelerate Program. Sarah Scheller, Program Director at Novare Leadership Academy took the opportunity to ask him a few questions on leadership.
Hi Christian, I know you are passionate about purpose-driven leadership. What is your “Why” as a leader, and how does that correlate with the vision and purpose of Infranode?
– My ’why’ as a leader is driven by my unwavering belief in people’s capacity to adapt and bring about positive change – the power of transition is what truly fuels my passion. This ’why’ is in ideal harmony with Infranode’s mission and vision, which is all about building a better society through long-term investments in infrastructure. Our goal is to make responsible investments that benefit society, citizens, and our investors, both now and for future generations. As a leader, I’m committed to ensuring my team fully grasps the ’why’ and purpose behind their tasks as we unite in our pursuit of a shared vision.

Can you share some of your most important leadership lessons, when growing a company from a whiteboard to a business?
– Growing a business from an idea to a thriving reality has taught me some vital leadership lessons;
- First, having a clear ’why’ that guides our work has been the backbone of our company culture; it has helped us attract the right talent and mindset for Infranode.
- Understanding how my actions impact people and adapting my leadership style to bring out the best in them has been another crucial lesson.
- I’ve also seen the power of giving and receiving feedback, which fuels personal and professional growth. Building a feedback culture isn’t simple, but leading by example, both in giving and receiving feedback, is a must.
- Fostering openness, transparency, and embracing open disagreements have played significant roles in our journey.
- Lastly, maintaining a fun workplace with laughter is essential to keep our team motivated.
These lessons have jointly guided me and my co-founder from a whiteboard idea to a thriving business.

Thank you for your sharing your insights Christian!
