A startup founder joins a 10,000-person company to build AI from scratch and learns how to move fast without losing trust.
Moving fast inside a big company can feel impossible. You’re hired to shake things up - but if you move too quickly, you lose people. This episode dives into that tension. Atlassian’s Head of AI, Nisha Iyer, shares what happens when a startup founder joins a 10,000-person company and tries to build new AI products from the inside. She unpacks learning to slow down, earning trust, and building momentum the right way - without giving up the spark that made you effective in the first place.
Executives and operators will relate to the tension between urgency and patience - and take away ideas for leading change without burning out your team or losing trust.
