How Leaders Describe a Typical Day at Work

Chief People Officer ,

GoDaddy

I use the perspectives and skills gained from leading engineering and development teams to recruiting and rewarding the best technologists in the world. I work with my team to develop a company culture that enables people to build the best products they can. I am often problem solving and working with others to meet their needs.

Global Diversity Program Manager, Engagement/Employment Resource Groups ,

Facebook

No day is ever the same. My job is definitely not a 9-to-5 because it involves solving really big problems. You can find me either on the road traveling and talking to people, celebrating cultures, and helping people find their voice; or, I can be on the Facebook campus teaching inclusion and supporting employee activities. I manage all of our employee resource groups that are all structured around identity, so employees can feel like they have a voice and feel included.
