Emmanuel Martin-Chave is VP Data at BlaBlaCar, the French unicorn who offers several mobility services. I had already welcomed him on the podcast to know more about their data strategy in the episode #13. This time, we talk about management.

We cover:

🔥 What the Data department looks like today

🔥 How to introduce “Middle Managers” (Manu prefers “Front Line Managers”)

🔥 How to create a great path for Individual Contributors

🔥 Why it’s crucial to anticipate recruitments 3 years in advance when you’re 50 in the team.
