” Today, I want to give a shout out to our VP Engineering, who recently joined us toward our Round A. She is an extraordinary person – the beating heart, the observant eyes, and the attentive ear of our product development teams.
She is exceptional at getting things done and her passion is infectious. She has managed to turn us into a well-oiled product machine with automated testing and CI/CD processes – truly *chef’s kiss*.
This is no easy task at Swish.ai, because management is matrixional. We have a team of developers, data science professionals, and process engineers, and she conducts this orchestra masterfully.
She isn’t the strongest developer in the company; it’s been years since she wrote code herself. But somehow, she knows how to listen and she knows how to ask the important questions to get down to the details that matter when needed. That’s why everyone values her and accepts her leadership.
Do you know how we know she’s an excellent manager? Because no one is working nights and weekends – and that is something we can all get behind. Maybe because we’re all like that, we love what we do and enjoy our work, but also love our time with family and for leisure. Her management methods make this balance possible.
Wonder how I recruited her? I understood that a manager like this can only be recruited using special methods, so I wrote this post and left my email: arnon@getswish.ai.
*The above post is intended for all genders.”
