Through an uncertain economy and volatile housing market, Raji has led her team to continue building creative and innovative solutions that drive customer and business value.In this session, Raji will share the three things she believes tech leaders should be doubling down during times of change and uncertainty: innovation, optionality, and adaptability. She’ll also highlight how she creates a positive and inclusive team culture, and how to put the practices and mechanics in place to institutionalize that culture at scale.
