Show Notes Chapter Markers

On this episode Pat sits down with Clara Gold, former Director of Growth and Product of Latin American superapp Rappi. We dive into her journey, how Rappi has evolved along those years and how she personally grew within the company as it went through hyper growth. The narrative ties the Rappi expansion years to the growth of the LatAm ecosystem, putting into context how fundamental those years where.

You will learn about:

  • How to grow with the company
  • Why a culture of hustling and relentless execution matters 
  • Picking a person to work for rather than a specific role 
  • The Softbank moment and how it has changed Rappi, if at all...

You can find Clara on LinkedIn and Twitter.
