Ever find yourself struggling to get leadership buy-in? Do you wish your stakeholders would just talk straight with you instead of avoiding or stringing you along? Then this is the interview series for you.

Every month, we’ll meet with a different department head across multiple industries to get inside their heads and better understand what drives them, what bores them, what they do (and don’t) look for in an HR business partner, and lessons they’ve learned along the way when it comes to partnering with People teams.

Because effective partnership starts with understanding your audience.

In this month’s interview, our VP of People, Melanie, met with Sam Jacobs, Founder & CEO at Pavilion, to learn more about the Sales leader perspective.
