How to Win Any B2B Contract Using Jose Mourinho's Playbook
November 13, 2025
In this episode of Confessions of a B2B Entrepreneur, Tom Hunt speaks with Aditya Shivkumar, Co-founder of Resolve Disputes Online (RDO), about his transition from lawyer to global legal-tech founder. Aditya reveals how the analytical skills honed in litigation became the most valuable asset for their successful B2B pivot into Online Dispute Resolution (ODR). He shares the entrepreneurial mindset that allowed RDO to treat the COVID-19 crisis as a "watershed moment" for growth and securing funding. The conversation culminates with Aditya detailing how he applies Jose Mourinho's strategic 'Catenaccio' philosophy directly to winning high-value B2B contracts.
