Shaku Selvakumar
Vice President, Marketing in Austin, Texas
There are two core truths in business. Likeability and Trust.
People will work with you if they like you and if you make them look good.
If they don't like you BUT you make them look good, they will never credit you.
If they like you BUT you let them down, they will leave you.
While leadership is not a popularity contest, it must hinge on compassion.
My priority over the last 20 years of marketing, content creation, digital and social communications, has always hinged on creativity, collaboration and impact.
I lead marketing & comms and work with a great team at Cognitive Scale. A start up with heart and brilliance. I love my job! When I can steal time to reflect, I write poetry.
