(00:53) Introduction to Doug Innocenti “My background is probably unique if you think about the crypto world and kind of where things are ending up.”
Full Episode “One of the best things you can do is talk to your team. It needs to be bi-directional. It needs to be real time, and even in the virtual world we live in today, you need to talk to your people on a daily basis. It has to happen.”
(02:28) Episode Highlights
(01:40) Balancing Hypergrowth Demands with Individual Development Plans “IT and security is an enabler. Our job is to make sure to both protect the company and enable the company to move it forward.”
(05:03) Stop Blocking to Make Security an Engine for Enablement “If we're doing security right, we're an enabler for the business. We should not be a blocker for the business.”
(02:44) Partnering with HR to Source High-Impact, Culture-Fit Hires “There is that area where you can see the talent beyond what's on the resume and to find that unique diamond in the rough that's out there is very important.”
(02:16) Proactive HR Alignment Prevents Costly Hiring Delays “Not cultivating that relationship with the HR and the talent team proactively can lead to issues where the team is not able to support you well.”
(05:17) Three Manager Moves that Strengthen HR Partnerships “Making sure that you can clearly articulate the vision for what your team is doing, really helping them understand the flow, and helping them understand better how to do it, are the three areas that would be really the big things to do.”
(05:13) Security-First Culture Begins with Transparent Onboarding “In onboarding, we won't hide anything from you about how we operate. I think the more you know about it, the better off it's going to be. We're here to protect. We're here to enable. We're here to help you move faster.”
(02:25) Trust Manager Intuition When Resumes Are Not Enough “Trust the hiring manager that's on this side of the table because things are not always going to be in the resume. That feeling and that intuition that comes from the hiring manager is a very palatable and very powerful point.”
