Bio
Skyler McCurine
I had the immense pleasure of speaking on a panel that Vidya was leading. We were a diverse group of female business owners--the ubiquitous thread being our gender. Vidya demonstrated a clear talented in threading complex topics, humans, and experiences together. Her questions were thoughtful, specific, and well-researched. Moderating a panel, is always a challenge, moderating a panel of that caliber is in another league all together. It's evident that her work (researching us, crafting thoughtful questions, etc) began long before we all entered in the Hera Venture Summit. I look forward to working with her again.

I feel blessed to have had Vidya as my director at Intuit. She is hands down the most inspirational and creative leader I’ve ever worked with. She has the enviable ability to understand many facets of a business, including technology, strategy, operations, support, marketing, and even front-end design. Vidya can nimbly switch between them all and provide great insights and invaluable advice. While a director at TurboTax, I watched her lead experience teams of seasoned tax, creative, and engineering professionals with integrity and humility. Vidya always brought out the best in those around her. She walks the talk, nurtures an environment of innovation and collaboration, and sets a vision that we all wanted to attain.

We work with product leaders, founders and product teams from early stage through Fortune 50 to fundamentally change the way they work to make fast, impactful and effective customer-driven decisions with measurable outcomes. We do this through our signature training curriculum - 3 hours per week, combined with two workshops, over an 8 week period to transform the way product teams work. We offer an organization assessment for CEOs and product leaders that delivers a 360 degree view on how their product teams are performing.
