The Talent Tango

I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Shreya Iyer. Shreya is a Splunk veteran. Having been at Splunk for almost 9 years, pre-IPO, she’s worked with almost every function within the company. She is the Director of Talent Acquisition, Sales and G&A. In her role, she is responsible for hitting aggressive headcount targets for a constantly evolving Sales and G&A function, executing global Talent initiatives, building the Talent framework for Splunk and managing a best-in-class team. She gets to interface with Global leaders, present at conferences, and see firsthand why Splunk is such a special place to work. Here are some of the topics Shreya touched on : 4:43 - 6:08 Picking diverse risk-takers 7:19 - 8:18 Managing bias 12:12 - 14:28 Grass is greener 27:59 - 29:19 Company sells itself 31:48 - 32:38 Change management through data To get in touch with Shreya, connect with her: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shreyac/
