Olivia Chen was most recently Head of Product for Faire. She joined Faire as their first ops/business hire. By the time she left four years later, Faire had grown to over 750 employees and Olivia was managing a cross-functional team of more than 60 people. In this episode, we discussed how to build successful referral programs, how to grow a product team, how to navigate hyper-growth as an early-stage employee, and much more. Andrew Yu, On Deck’s Director of our Product Management Fellowship, joined me in this episode as a guest co-host. We hope you enjoy.
