How did Emily Critchfield make the leap from Senior Director of Sales Operations at Zendesk to VP of Sales Operations at Samsara? In this month’s episode of Breaking The Tech Ceiling, she shares how your REPUTATION, your network, and your references matter even more as you ascend to high stakes executive roles. If you are curious about how Emily got the role (spoiler alert: even VPs have to handle case studies and showcase their technical skills!) and how to signal interest in following executives you admire, then this episode is worth a listen.
Emily is one of the 2 Asian American female Senior Directors that I mentioned in the trailer episode of Breaking The Tech Ceiling. Navigating tech as an Asian American woman has its own challenges and I love how Emily shares how she’s learned to manage high pressure situations. One huge takeaway from our conversation: Don’t underestimate how much people want to help you – especially female leaders. Thanks, Emily for paying it forward and lifting as you climb!
Thanks for listening and remember - Be courageous in your career!
