Zoë Harte is the Chief People Officer at Upwork. In this Q&A she talks about how Upwork manages its own hybrid and remote workforce, her role guiding talent innovation at the company, how HR can be a guidepost for culture, and why speaking the truth is so important.

Paula-Jo (PJ) Oleksak, the chief business officer at Slice, talks about her transition from finance to operations, how she builds successful teams by keeping things simple, and the need to empower people while allowing them to be full humans, especially in today’s world.

This Q&A with Jennifer Taylor, VP of ThousandEyes’ Global People Team, talks about what it's like to lead the HR function through the perfect storm of a global pandemic, a social justice movement and a fast-paced acquisition, and why balance is more important than ever (but not always easy).

I had the privilege to work with Yamini Rangan, Chief Customer Officer at HubSpot, during our early days of Appirio, where she held multiple roles including a year stint as my head of development and Chief of Staff.

Every business leader needs a lieutenant. A wingman or wingwoman who they turn to for advice, a much-needed reality check, and most importantly, help pushing forward the ideas and priorities they have established for their organization.

I had the opportunity to speak with leadership expert Mike Robbins a few weeks ago for his podcast "We're All In This Together" about the culture we built at Appirio and some of the lessons I've learned over the years.
