Drawing from her career across iconic brands like Xbox, Starbucks, and Nordstrom, Jyoti opens up about building design cultures that last, navigating rapid business transformation, and cultivating the kind of trust and resilience that high-performing teams need. She discusses how design leaders can grow into business leaders, the importance of customer obsession, and how to anchor creative work in real business outcomes.
