Why Loree Draude? She certainly is not your average Navy pilot. After serving 10 years in the Navy flying jets on and off aircraft carriers worldwide, Loree went on to develop and lead teams at Google, Facebook, and several startups. Loree's leadership approach draws from supporting teams of sailors in her squadrons, coupled with her multi-faceted experience working with some of the brightest minds and inspiring leaders in Silicon Valley. So why a podcast about leadership and teams in 2020? From COVID-19 to racial injustice struggles, it's clear that strong leadership is needed now more than ever. Loree Draude, along with the expertise of her brilliant guests, creates space for conversations around leadership, delving into what it really means to be a 'dealer of hope' - and to exude leadership in such a way that inspires people to feel hopeful not only about the work they're doing but also about their future.
