Ellie Conversations

When Andre Charoo and I sat down in the studio this year, we talked about the fact that a company's distribution channel is crucial regardless of whether you are selling software products, hired cars or attracting top talent. As one of the first 25 employees at Uber and now the VP Strategic Development at Hired, you may want to hear what this innovator has to say. #Hired #theC100 #RBC #SiliconValley#hiring #talent#Uber http://bit.ly/AndreCharoo

When I interviewed Vidyard CEO & Co-Founder Michael Litt, he talked openly about why it’s so difficult to terminate employees that don’t align with company culture. Anyone who has been in a leadership role will relate to the pain of knowing when to let someone go. #Vidyard #theC100 #Canadiantech #startups #RBC #SiliconValley#hiring #talent http://bit.ly/MichaelLitt

Michelle Zatlyn is the Co-Founder & COO of Cloudflare - a web performance and security company with over 7 million users in 120 countries. When interviewing Michelle as part of the "our stories_", she talked about startup resilience, what it takes to create traction and the best part of her job. This experienced entrepreneur really tells it like it is. #Cloudflare @Michelle Zatlyn#Startup #innovation #leadership#theC100

Creating high-performing sales teams is all about establishing group benchmarks, a culture of diversity and full integration with the rest of the company. When Geoff Perfect walked into the studio for this interview, it was his very first day of retirement (at least for now!). As a seasoned global sales leader at Apple and RIM, you will want to check out what he has to say. #saleseffectiveness #Blackberry #Apple #theC100#Canadiantech #startups #entrepreneurship #RBC #SiliconValley http://bit.ly/GeoffPerfect

Competing for top notch talent with the likes of Apple, Google and other tech giants was not easy for LinkedIn. I learnt a lot when I interviewed Steve Cadigan as he reflected on how LinkedIn was able to attract an A team by redefining the term 'recruitment'. #linkedin #recruitment #silicon valley #talent #theC100 #RBC http://bit.ly/SteveCadigan
