In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Steve Cadigan, the HR leader who helped scale LinkedIn from 400 to 4,000 employees in just four years.
Steve shares how his passion for team dynamics and workplace culture fueled this explosive growth and shaped LinkedIn’s early success. We also discuss why prioritizing culture over salaries matters, the value of hiring for potential rather than experience, and how aligning employee goals with company impact creates a thriving workforce.
I invite you to listen to the full conversation on building teams that drive innovation and success.
And now I give you, Steve Cadigan.
