A Look at Our Event with Slack in San Francisco
As a completely remote company, PowerToFly relies on Slack everyday to make our work possible. More than any other platform, including email, our global team communicates via Slack. The PowerToFly team is global, stretching from India to Russia to Argentina to the United States. It's amazing to think that we can utilize one tool to not only chat but to send documents, brainstorm and even share wedding photos.
That is why PowerToFly was beyond thrilled to partner with Slack for our second networking event for women in sales. After giving New York some love in September, we relocated to Slack's San Francisco office to host an evening of panel discussions and networking featuring some of Slack's women sales leaders and male allies.
<p>One thing that made this even especially meaningful is that one of our panelists was <strong>Kylie Maddex</strong>. While Kylie currently works as Large Enterprise Account Executive, she previously served as PowerToFly's first ever Head of Sales. Kylie is amazing and we at PowerToFly love to see our alumni go off and push their careers to the next level.</p><p>Joining Kylie on the panel were <strong>Maggie Hott</strong>, Manager, Mid-Market Sales; <strong>Renu Gupta</strong>, Large Enterprise Sales Leader; <strong>Kelly Bray</strong>, Director, Customer Success Programs & Retention Strategy; and <strong>Craig Nile</strong>, Head of Enterprise Sales, North America. Moderated by PowerToFly's Director of Customer Success <strong>Cristina Duke</strong>, our panelists discussed their own career journeys, what drew them to Slack, the lessons they learned working for large enterprises and other startups and how they maintain work-life integration. </p><p>Our capacity crowd of over 120 attendees also had a chance to ask our accomplished panel questions of their own. After an enlightening audience Q&A, we moved back into networking so that our guests had plenty of time to ask follow-up questions on their own time. Slack even gifted our attendees face masks which were a big hit (and went quickly). </p><p>We love getting to meet the people that make a product that we love and we can't wait to continue our partnership with Slack.

A Look Inside our Evening with Slack’s Women Sales Leaders
As a completely remote company, PowerToFly relies on Slack even more than email to connect our global team. That's why it was a thrill to partner with Slack to present an invite-only night for women in sales at one of their two New York City offices.
<p style="">This completely sold-out event kicked off with a chance for guests to enjoy some refreshments as they networked with both the Slack team and their peers. PowerToFly CoFounder <strong>Katharine Zaleski</strong> kicked off the night and introduced <strong>Marina Milenkovic</strong>, Senior Solutions Engineer at Slack who delivered the official welcome and introduction. She discussed phrases like "hug the elephant in the room" and "tilt your umbrella" to describe Slack's culture, a culture that is full of respect and empathy and an environment that is open to address and tackle problems with the intent to find solutions and better each other. She also noted that she joined Slack because she LOVES the product, but ultimately stays at Slack because of the people. </p><p>Next, we heard from four women sales leaders at Slack in an honest and enlightening panel discussion, moderated by Katharine. Our panelists included: </p><ul class="ee-ul"><li><strong>Julie Maresca,</strong> Head of Enterprise Sales - East</li><li><strong>Kathleen Faulkner,</strong> Sr. Account Executive</li><li><strong>Lauren Oliphant</strong>, Senior Solutions Engineer</li><li><strong>Gina Jacobson</strong>, Manager, Customer Success</li></ul><p style="">Gina discussed Slack's approach to internal feedback:</p><p><em>I'm a huge proponent of real time feedback. We do formalized feedback, but I think the best feedback that you can get is in the moment from your peers and we really try to foster a culture where you're comfortable with one another to provide that.</em></p><p>The night concluded with more networking opportunities and a chance to enjoy delicious Slack branded treats! </p><p style="">
