Ever tried building a team from scratch? It's like building a family 👩🏻🧑🏽👩🦱❤ Several times during my career I have been tasked with building teams, from recruitment to process, from culture to transformation. Sometimes to shut down or acquire. The journey is never the same twice. I once found myself describing the process of building a startup team to an HR colleague as "constructing a house from uneven stones". You can write all the job ads you want, in the end, the success of the team materializes when you manage to put people together who supplement each other skills, cover each other's blind spots, and manage to thrive and grow together. The reward? Well, apart from building a great product in Artstash and seeing each person rise to that challenge, sometimes you receive a little recognition like this wonderful video to make you feel like you've done something right. Thank you to everyone on the team for making me feel I made the right choice when I believed in you: Stepan Dediukhin, Irka (Irynka) Lun', Hidayat Ramat, Oleksandr Bondarenko, Serhii Bobakov, Serhii Hordiichuk, Julia Romanchak, Nijat Ismayilov, Teymur Valiyev, THUAN BUI HUY, CH Kew, Oksana Krasnytska, Oksana Strilets, Sofia Ostryzhniuk, Halyna Sabat #teamwork #startupteam #teamculture

Today is a very exciting day! Not only because it’s Monday (yes, we’re those kind of people), but because today marks the first day for our brand new Head of Marketing at Zeligate: Priya O'Grady 🎉🎉 If you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting her yet, let me share a glimpse into our experience during the recruitment process: 🚀 Pocket Rocket: Priya may be petite, but her energy and enthusiasm are absolutely off the charts! 🎯 B2B SaaS Whiz: With a rock-solid background in B2B SaaS marketing, Priya brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. 🙌 Serious about success, but knows how to have fun along the way: Our philosophy is all about teamwork, with no ego trips or dramas attached.

Today at the office, I took my time to decode and analyze each team member's personality, sharing valuable insights with my team. The aim was to enhance their understanding of how to collaborate effectively and achieve greater success together. Within our dynamic team at Rouzo, I am surrounded by individuals who bring strength, passion, creativity, willingness to confront challenges, and infectious laughter to our ambitious yet purpose-driven work. At Rouzo we've cultivated a key value system over the years, centered around #Learning. This involves pushing ourselves to explore new methods, fostering innovation, original thinking, and adaptability. Reflecting on our journey when we started during the pandemic in 2020, I recall our initial practice of reading books as a team and sharing personal learnings during scrum meetings. As our #team expanded, we recognized the need to delve into understanding personality differences and how we could scale this approach effectively. Today, We delved into understanding the various personalities at our workplace, identifying strengths, growth areas, and discovering how best to complement one another. Research indicates that a company's culture originates from its founding team members, requiring intentional effort to build a solid foundation. 'Tale Alimi and Sally-Ann Ezekiel thank you for spearheading such a beautiful culture; I appreciate the power of seeds…..and to the #HumansOfRouzo both past and present, you have all made the work beautiful. #africanstartups #buildingintech #Rouzo

Thrilled doesn't quite capture the excitement I felt when the opportunity to join Sweeft Analytics knocked on my door.

The way we're shaping the narrative and developing a brand that resonates with innovation and sustainability is simply extraordinary.

🚀 Career Update! 🚀 It has been an incredible month since I joined Petavue as a Senior Product Manager. Transitioning from managing mature products at scale to embarking on the 0-1 product management journey at an early-stage startup has been a thrilling experience. 🔍 Choosing Chaos Wisely: Selectivity was key for me in this transition. The problem domain was crucial, and Petavue's focus on providing data and insights for Go-to-Market (GTM) teams resonated deeply with my expertise and career journey. The challenges faced by non-technical business users in accessing and analyzing data are real, and Petavue's mission to democratise the access to data and insights caught my attention. 👥 Building with the Best: The team at Petavue is a major draw for me. Working alongside Prasanna, Ijas, and Jeyaraj, individuals I've known since my Insent (A ZoomInfo Company) days, has been a privilege. Their blend of engineering prowess, data expertise, and product vision align perfectly with my goals. Prasanna's mentorship and ability to bridge engineering and business outcomes have been invaluable, making this opportunity to craft exceptional product experiences for GTM teams irresistible. 🌟 Innovating with AI: Exploring AI, LLM, vector search, RAG, and more with the Petavue team has been enlightening. Our recent release of evaluation reports on LLMs for NL-to-SQL use cases and the upcoming OpenLLM day event on May 30th showcase our commitment to cutting-edge solutions in data and insights. You can find the GitHub link to the benchmark report and the event registration link in the comments section. 🔗 Interested in Solving Complex Problems? If you share our passion for tackling challenging engineering problems and transforming how data and insights are accessed, consider exploring opportunities at Petavue.

Sometimes in life we find ourselves back where we started - moving back to the town we grew up in, returning to a regular workout routine after a few months off, trying to remember a foreign language that hasn't been used in a while .... Except it's never really "right where you started". Because you've grown. Last July I left Zencity after 4+ years, to challenge myself in a new industry beyond my home of local government and community engagement. In all senses of the word it was my start in the tech world. AI-powered solutions are a driving force of change in today's world and, whether it's building trust in communities or the next big culinary trend, AI-driven insights and more efficient, informed decision-making are revolutionizing the definition of innovation. In the last year I upped my professional acumen, dove head first into the food & bev industry with the privilege of working with some of the most exciting and largest CPG's in the world, and honed my understanding of how AI can help us understand behavior and trends at scale. And with this year of immense learning, new experiences and growth, it's so special that my journey gets to come full circle, back to where I started. Except this time, keeping on trend and focusing on GROWTH 🤝 🌱 🚀 . Starting back at Zencity as an Account Manager, I can't wait to reconnect with old friends, build new partnerships, and help communities grow together with more voices at the table. And what better way to kick-off than with an offsite dedicated to growth, and refining the playbook for how we set the standard for community engagement?
