For driven individuals, witnessing leadership done the wrong way can be a powerful motivator to take action and do things the right way.

In this episode, I sit down with Natalia Shuliak, COO of DoubleCloud to uncover her fascinating startup story. Natalia was born in Belarus, and after spending time travelling the world, working for numerous tech companies such as Microsoft, she’s found her home in France.

I ask Natalia about her journey from a secretary at a marketing agency to COO of a rapidly growing startup. We dive into Natalia’s upbringing and touch on the topic of passing down traits to children.

We also delve into why most of Natalia's roles have been in leadership, and she uncovers why her number one motivation is frustration. She gives us insights into what it means to be a COO and the best and most challenging aspects of her role.

Finally, Natalia shares with us what’s next for DoubleCloud and what it needs to achieve for success in the coming year.
