Christa Quarles Always Speaks Her Mind


Listen Later

In this episode of Leadership Next, Alan Murray is joined by his new co-host Fortune Editor-at-Large, Michal Lev-Ram. In Lev-Ram's first episode, she and Murray speak to Christa Quarles of Alludo. Alludo, formerly known as Corel, is a software company whose products enable people to work from anywhere. Quarles became the CEO of Alludo in 2020, after stints as the CEO of OpenTable and the SVP of Interactive Games at Disney.

They start the episode recapping a legendary moment at a 2017 Fortune conference where Quarles literally called B.S. on a claim that women in business don't support each other. Quarles then shares what progress she's seen made for women in tech over the past six years and how she reached 50/50 gender parity in hiring at OpenTable. Qaurles also discusses how Alludo is trying to compete with software like Canva and Asana, the state of remote work, her "management by Haiku" leadership approach and the process of rebranding Alludo from Corel. Stay tuned until the end of the episode to hear Alan and Michal read their original Haikus!
