What does it take to be a Head of Human Resources at Amazon for over 100,000 people?
Tune in to this week’s podcast to find out!
After 7 years leading in various HR positions at Amazon, and 9 years at Blackberry before that, my guest, Dayna Perry knew Human Resources for tech companies backwards and forwards. As a fellow people geek, she is someone I have bounced numerous ideas with over the years. However, we have bounced far more balls – beach volleyballs, to be exact.
In fact, it was years after welcoming Dayna into the beach volleyball scene in Seattle that I learned just how high up and influential she was at Amazon. I’d wager that many who know her still have no idea. At the beach, she is known more for her incredible margaritas, killer serves, and quick laugh. When she told me that humility is an attribute she looks for in candidates, it came as no surprise.
Today, Dayna is the Head of People for rapidly growing revenue lifecycle company, Conga. Joining me on the podcast after being in her new role for just a few short months, she shares a few challenges and insights on how she is managing the transition – one that was made harder by the virtual nature of work today.
Listen in as our conversation emerges and we wind our way through:
Enjoy!
