What does it take to help build a $20B company, exit with significant wealth, and then start over again at one of the most competitive firms in Palo Alto?
In this conversation, I’m joined by Neboyša Omčikus, a former engineer, turned Head of Talent, turned Product Lead at Rubrik, where he helped scale the business from 15 to over 200 people, culminating in one of Silicon Valley’s most successful IPOs.
