*LIVE* from PERKSCon Boston, we speak to Gabriela McManus, SVP of People Operations at Drizly, about the distinction between People Ops and HR and how to view humans as assets vs liabilities. Having grown Drizly from its early days to its recent billion-dollar acquisition by Uber, Gabriela shares her non-linear trajectory into People Ops, her view on the employee lifecycle, and her beliefs around how to advocate for the profession, and what’s so exciting about the People Ops road ahead.    Support our sponsors!
