After a two-week break, we couldn’t be more excited to share this week’s episode of Leading Between the Lines. We speak to France Bobet, the People Development Lead of Wolt, a Helsinki based food delivery company. Formed in 2014 by six co-founders, Wolt is currently headed by Miki Kuusi. They have grown to over 3200 employees, operate in 23 countries and have received over $900 million in funding with investors including Facebook and Twitter heads Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey.

Given the increase in need for delivery services during the pandemic, Wolt has expanded greatly in the fast-growing environment. They are soon introducing their own grocery stores, “Wolt Market.”

With their fast-increasing business and headcount, France has her hands full. She explains Wolt’s culture of human interaction and connection, as well as the company’s values which include the willingness to learn and to teach. France’s job responsibilities include handling all leadership and career development, as well as the engagement and performance management of Wolt’s more than 3000 employees. Hear how France was able to learn by doing while remaining true to Wolt’s values in such a fast-growing environment.
