Marius Istrate was Chief People Officer at UiPath between 2017-2020, setting up and running the companyβs people and talent function during its rapid growth from 100 to 3,000 employees across the globe, and from 4 to more than 50 offices worldwide. Prior to his role at UiPach, he was the CEO of SkillValue, and today he is advising and investing in tech startups that wish to go global, while partnering with venture capital firms to help accelerate their portfolio's growth.
This is a conversation to listen from the beginning to the end, because you will discover some great insights not only about the hyper-growth of UiPath, but also from my guestβs experience as an investor, growth adviser, tech business angel and venture partner at 3VC.
Marius brings incredible passion and expertise in explaining why it is so important for leaders to be not only culture fit and eager to learn, but also capable of bringing something extra to the table, not just of fitting into the mold of a company. And you will find out why lack of ambition, being risk-averse, not being able to articulate a vision about the future, or not thinking at marketing as a critical function are some of the reasons that can make it difficult, or even impossible for a start-up to scale or expand internationally.
Moreover, Marius describes how the UiPath success was considered an inspiration and why it brought a higher level of energy, a positive vibe. However, he points out that the next success story does not have to be a UiPath or a new unicorn, and he recommends us to adjust our lens to what a great company really is in order to see more success stories.
Curious to see where the next disruption will happen?
