In series 3 episode 19 of “Scaling So Far”, we're joined by Maria Peres, Head of Operations and People, and Mariana Henriques, People Operations at Valispace. Valispace is a first-of-its-kind Data Driven Systems Engineering ( DDSE) tool and Single Source of Truth for engineering teams that develop complex hardware.

Named by Forbes as one of Germany's 100 Most Innovative Startups in 2018, Valispace is in the business of helping engineers build incredible things that seem like magic to us today. Coined the 'Gitbhub for hardware', the startup's technology is already used by the likes of the European Space Agency, Airbus, and BMW. 

We spoke to Maria and Mariana about their approach to scaling this incredible team, having seen the company grow from the early stages. They discuss how they got buy-in for their newly launched remote-friendly policy, the initiatives they have to build connection and engagement across their team, and how they're driving diversity and championing female Developers.

Well worth a listen if you're a people operations leader in the startup and scaleup space.
