Andrew Filev Founder Of Wrike | Reclaiming Lost Productivity & Improving Workplace Culture

Andrew Filev is the founder and CEO of Wrike, a leading collaborative work management platform. He started the company in 2006 to help people and companies work more productively and be more time and cost-efficient. 

 

Andrew Filev was running a successful micro-multinational company in 2000 and adopted an agile methodology to speed up the projects. Despite this, it was challenging to keep up with the pace of the workload. This inspired him to create a new software category, which is now a multi-billion-dollar industry. The pandemic has caused a drastic shift to remote working and has highlighted the need for better processes and tools to streamline work. Andrew now serves more than 3000 companies and encourages the use of specific, measurable goals to encourage the team to work together towards a common goal rather than using surveillance tools. He believes a hybrid environment where teams come together in person several times a week is the best way to re-energize culture and achieve the best productivity.
