My guest on episode #471 of #thePOZcast is a long time friend and mentor, Claude Silver—the world’s first Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX. Claude has made it her mission to prove that when people feel seen, heard, and valued, both they and their companies thrive. Since stepping into her role, she’s helped VaynerX grow from 400 to more than 2,000 employees worldwide, guided VaynerMedia to Adweek’s Breakthrough Agency of the Year, and become a sought-after voice on heart-first leadership, empathy, and emotional bravery.
