About this listen
Ever wonder how things actually get done in a tech company? This week, John and Nate sit down with Jennifer Silvestre, Business Unit Operations Lead at insightsoftware, to decode the art of cross-functional alignment.
Jen shares her journey from market research to becoming a functional chief of staff (even if that's not her official title), and reveals the playbook for getting things done when you don't have direct authority. From "herding cats" across departments to knowing the "beats of the business," she breaks down what it really takes to turn organizational politics into productivity.
Lessons Learned: John worries about AI replacing product managers, Jenn reflects on work-life balance heading into Q4, and Nate discovers that Beethoven (the dog movie) has a deeply disturbing plot.
