Founder’s Story “Jhovy”

“Teamwork is crucial to a company’s success, particularly for startups. It allows for the exchange of ideas and diverse perspectives, which leads to better outcomes. While one person’s ideas are valuable, the input of multiple minds is even more effective. Therefore, teamwork is the key to unlocking success.” -Jhovy

Hi, I’m Jhovy, the Co-Founder and Head of Sales at LZ Cybersecurity and Technologies Corporation.

How did you get started as a co-founder?

I started my career as a regular employee and worked my way up the company. I work part-time at LZ Cybersecurity. Then, I had the chance to become a Co-founder. I took it because I wanted to be an entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur runs in our family, but they focus on selling directly to consumers. I’m the only one in my family who focuses on selling to businesses.

Why advocate cybersecurity?

We live in a digital world where many businesses started during the pandemic. There are, unfortunately, cyberattacks happening at the moment. Some small businesses mistakenly believe they are not at risk, but that’s not true. All businesses, big or small, are vulnerable to attacks. As a first step, I want to help raise awareness about this issue.

Do you think leadership has an important role to play?

In leadership, it’s important to be humble. Before you can become a good leader, you need to be a good follower. John Maxwell said that to be an effective leader, you must be committed. Commitment comes from the heart and is tested through action. It opens doors and leads to achievement.

Can you share any tips on being a startup co-founder?

Being a co-founder is tough. It’s a big challenge, especially for me. Here are some tips I want to share:

• Be trustworthy to your team.

• Build a strong foundation with your team so you’re ready for anything.

• You’re the decision-maker, so decide quickly but wisely. Don’t make decisions that will hurt your team.

• Think about what’s best for your team, not just yourself.

I’m so proud of my team because they embody these principles. Teamwork is crucial to a company’s success, particularly for startups. It allows for the exchange of ideas and diverse perspectives, which leads to better outcomes. While one person’s ideas are valuable, the input of multiple minds is even more effective. Therefore, teamwork is the key to unlocking success.
