Jose Asuncion - Growing your team from startup stage to publicly-traded company

Highlights of my conversation with Jose:

• Being promoted into a role too quickly
• Continuing education to grow and enhance leadership skills
• It's important to have strong routines within a team
• Identifying patterns and focusing on the optimal ones
• Consistent processes help establish team expectations
• Identify your hiring gap and find the strongest person to cover that
• Searching for your next hire might not always offer the team the best value
• Adding to your organization's core competencies by being able to identify future superstars

Meet: For the past three years, Jose Asuncion has been honing the art and science of building software engineering teams that look corporate but carry a killer instinct. He was an early employee at two Silicon Valley startups that had successful exits of more than $100M. He still works at one of these companies and is enjoying the challenge of blazing new trails in engineering management.
