Bio
Althea Espejo
Seth helped the teams under Encore Design Systems to align and share our efforts and victories more widely with the rest of the organization by creating shared rituals and artifacts. He was also key to bring back feedback from the Spotify design community and to ensure our communication channels were spot on. Seth brings an amazing energy to any team he works in, and can effectively work with different roles and seniority levels, he is always open to feedback and thrives in a collaborative environment.

Seth joined Spotify as a Program Manager to support our Encore Design System efforts which are shared across multiple distributed teams from different parts of the organisation. A key aspect of Seth’s role was to align and coordinate efforts amongst the various Encore teams. Seth brought an infectious, positive energy and a strong presence to our team. I was particularly impressed with how quickly Seth was able to establish himself within the various teams, forming strong relationships. I found Seth to be always open to feedback and willing to take on new challenges. His energy helped to motivate our team and create a positive work environment.
