Behind the TeamsShow Notes
On this episode of Behind the Teams, I sit down with Storm Jarvie, who has spent 18 years at the intersection of product, data, and experimentation, building and leading teams inside complex organisations before recently stepping out to work independently.

Who is truly responsible for your career growth?
James Comer (Global Head of Strategic Workforce Management, ResMed) breaks down what strategic workforce planning actually looks like when 39% of the workforce needs new skills by 2030.
Jim Nelson has spent decades leading digital teams from scaling startups through a pandemic to selling luxury brands online but nothing quite prepared him for leading at Beyond Blue.
