Prior, Emil was the Chief Operating Officer of Klout, Special Assistant to the Secretary of Defense, and Senior Vice President at TellMe Networks, and has been a strategic advisor for many companies who have IPO’d or been acquired.
In our conversation, Michael shares many key insights around how Uber successfully reached a global scale and empowered a distributed team, including the importance of thinking “glocally,” why it’s crucial to hire locally, how to map out your expansion plans, and much more.
