Our guest for this podcast Pooja Newcom. Pooja is a people, process and tech transformation leader for large organizations. She’s coaching organizations - mostly tech and finance orgs - through difficult, but necessary transformations.
Pooja got her start in finance, but quickly moved into roles where change is apparent, but transformation is critical: Transformation of objectives, the process, the way people work. The majority of her recent work has been with tech orgs who are moving to product teams, while still managing a portfolio of projects
I loved this talk! It’s rare to get a chance to go deep with a leader who understands all the drivers of organizational effectiveness.
We talked about how to convince the marketing and finance orgs why its so important to move to the product model, and we got some really clear insights into the power of product teams that persist and stay together over time. And, we got a great set of answers about the issues of funding your product team, too.
Pooja is super smart and I learned a ton from this talk. She gave me a little free coaching on how to develop my own EQ.
We should all be so lucky to have such a versatile leader working with us when we’re driving change in the org.
