KRUMREY
Q. COULD YOU GIVE ME AN
OVERVIEW OF YOUR POSITION
AND WHAT IT ENTAILS?
» I lead a team that helps design
automation innovations for our
customers. Automation is quite
an abstract concept so we asked
ourselves – how can we show how
it would work in daily operations?
We decided that there was no
better place to do this than in a lab
where people can experiment with
automation and learn about what it
means for their business.
Therefore, I led the creation of
the UiPath Immersion Labs, where
we show the art-of-the-possible in
automation and help customers build
breakthrough automation prototypes
in their business context. Of course,
due to the pandemic, this is all virtual
for now.Q. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE
YOUR LEADERSHIP STYLE?
» My leadership style is very
collaborative but with a clear
directive towards the anticipated
outcome. If you run a team of
technically skilled and creative
individuals, you need to give
them all the freedom to work in
the way they work best and then
reunite them on the joint vision.
I also ensure that I am very hands-on.
I am talking about being able to
become a pair of hands to my team
if needed. Following this thought,
I believe managers need to have
a good understanding of how any
delegated task should be done,
otherwise how will they be able
to verify the result?AUTOMATION LEADER UIPATH’S
