101 | Building the Greatest Company in the World - with Sallie Reid

Listen and find out how Salle Reid stepped in to help build the greatest company in the world from her kitchen during a global pandemic.

For our first guest, Sallie Reid joins us and she is an HR dynamo when it comes to providing value to ACV Auctions. Sallie was brought in to help build one of the greatest companies in the world. Sallie reflects on her own experience from wildly successful employee-first cultures, and how it helped to show her how to be a strategic business partner, how important an employee-centric culture is, and why it's worth fighting for. One thing for sure Sallie isn't afraid to make changes and challenge the status quo if she knows it will make the company and culture better.

We discuss:
