Focus&Topics

Recruiting - It's the TEAM that builds the unicorn

The people you hire make often the difference between success and failure. You want to surround yourself with A-Players that push the boundaries of what's possible , show grit, and have the same level of excellence in planning AND executing In our 6th Fintech Meetup we will focus on what it means to build a team for your company. We will invite experts from different industries (company builder, startup, head hunter, etc.) and ask everything about recruiting and team management.

We will cover topics, such as:

• Importance of people and team

• Hiring, especially for key roles (ex. CTO, CMOCOO, CFO)

• Creating & keeping the right company culture

Speakers

In her current role at HV, she aims to help founders build talent-centric organizations. Anna sees people management as a clockwork-like system with Talent Acquisition, Performance Management, Leadership and Culture as the cogwheels. Working with early teams is when Anna most feels like an architect of talent.

Style of Meetup

99% Chances are that this meetup will happen virtually on Zoom.

We'll be having a panel/round table discussion. We'll try to keep it informal, like a bar atmosphere where we'll discuss the topics. We don't stick to a strict agenda.

Q&A questions can be asked by the crowd after 45 minutes. We will also post a form to submit anonymous Q&A in the next few days.

If you have any other topic you want to cover, please let us know!
