Shannon's journey to founding Noyo spans diverse roles, from management consulting to product management at the HR tech startup, Zenefits. Shannon shares key insights from her early career experiences, describing how she has learned to challenge the status quo in environments that are often rigidly stuck in old systems and processes. While working at Zenefits, she gained insights that highlighted the need for a supportive framework. This is how Noyo was first designed. Shannon shares some of the early challenges of finding collaborative partners, describing what makes Noyo’s mission attractive for those who come from a tech background and others who know the benefits ecosystem. We discuss the common traits of high performers in her scaling team, and why she considers it an advantage, rather than a liability, that her identity is tied to that of the company. Hear why Shannon doesn’t have one role model in particular but rather embodies different styles. Sharing the future vision and challenges, Shannon highlights the efficacy of Noyo’s software and the small team behind it. She also shares the important principle of thinking of yourself as the end user of your product and the double-edged sword of taking everything personally. "}
