Leading Through Change and Rapid Growth

It is said that fast-growing startups are basically new companies at every new stage of growth. As someone who has experienced frequent change – in both my personal career and my leadership role at CircleCI – I have come accustomed to it and have learned not only how to adapt, but to thrive in the face of change and rapid growth.

In this talk, CircleCI’s VP of Product Engineering, Lena Reinhard, will share the many personas of rapid growth (what it can look and feel like), along with tips and strategies to help keep a high-performing team unwavered in any instance of growth and change, while helping them come out stronger on the other side.
