Clari VP, Brand, Content and Product Marketing • December 7
Some of the soft skills and qualities that I seek: Strategic yet hands-on, Storytellers yet tech savvy, Measured yet creative, Customer and sales facing, Running the business.
Then in terms of values:
- Collaborative. We ask others for ideas. We listen to their inputs. We share information.
- Accountable. We establish our goals. We stand by our actions. We stay engaged and we own our stuff.
- Impactful. We get it done. We have an impact on the business – because of what we did and how we did it.
