About Elena
I have spent 20 years leading product and technology teams at Madison Reed, Nextdoor, Braintrust, OpenTable, LiquidSpace, and BlackRock. Boards, industry stages, and the hardest calls a leadership team makes.
I have also been told, after a board presentation where they agreed with my strategy, that the CEO was not sure I should be the GM. My voice has quivered under a hard question. My first job interview out of college opened with: how do you take to abuse?
It hurt. I felt small. I owned it, learned it, and practiced it until it became something I could rely on.
I teach executive presence, and the question I get every time is: what do you do when the situation changes?
That is what this workshop is for. Let's get uncomfortable.
