Thriving Markets versus Challenging Markets: A People Leadership Event

The tech sector has gone through a real rollercoaster journey over these past 10 years. The pace of growth was unprecedented and this turned into a lightspeed growth post-Covid with significant investments being made into the start-up world and the mindset seemed to shift to growth at all costs. However, this hasn’t lasted forever, the sector has since been met with the economic crash of late 2022/23 and companies have been forced to cut headcount, pull back investments and try and extend their cash runways just to survive. As a result of the above, HR & People leadership have been at the forefront and we have the likes of Trecilla & David sharing their experiences of not only the good times and how to manage growth, looking at hiring, performance, rewards/incentives, culture, health & well-being BUT also how you cover and manage these same topics and responsibilities when things fall off a cliff and also share best practice on how to manage scenarios when everything is not going as planned.

Speaker Highlights

‍Trecilla Lobo – Led the people function supporting rapid scale across companies such as SwiftKey, Dext, Benevolent AI & more recently Tier Mobility.

‍David Barker – A corporate background within the likes of Coca-Cola, McClaren & Microsoft before supporting the start-up journeys across Riot Games, Paddle and more recently Improbable.
