“I’ve been so lucky to work with Kayla in her capacities both as a highly skilled researcher and as a steady, purposeful people manager and mentor. In her years at Indeed, she (1) built an incredibly popular and valuable Rapid Research program that enabled folks with little research experience to learn the craft; enabled more senior researchers to focus on more strategic questions; and enabled the research practice at Indeed to scale; (2) managed a team of researchers who worked in a very ambiguous, non-product space and empowered them to grow their careers and competencies within this space; (3) co-led a formal mentorship program that paired researchers who could learn from each other; and (4) began investigating product spaces ripe for AI integration. Kayla’s methodical yet flexible approach to research and management make her an asset to any team and just a great person to work with and learn from.”
