Miguel Armaza sits down with Suni Lobo, Chief HR/People Officer at Marqeta (NASDAQ: MQ), a publicly-traded fintech that helps companies issue cards with flexibility, control, and scale with an open API platform.

Founded in 2010, Marqeta has now issued hundreds of millions of cards across 36 countries and works with customers like Square, Klarna, Uber, Coinbase, and JP Morgan.

We discuss:

Company Culture in a remote world. Has remote work made it easier or harder to build community, increase productivity, and level the playing field?
How to build a culture of innovation and purpose, and why compensation is almost never the main reason people leave companies.
Why is it that at startups the role is called Head of People, but at large companies, we call it Head of Human Resources?
Reflections and lessons for leaders building culture in fast-growing companies… and a lot more!
