There comes a moment in everyone’s career where a unique opportunity presents itself. Whether it’s through an unexpected job offer, the chance for a complete career pivot, or a big move, change always involves a varying degree of risk. Understanding our comfort level with risk, and knowing whether or not it’s the right time to jump, is an intuitive calculation that has the potential to alter your entire life.
My guest today is Anand Srivatsa, Chief Executive Officer at Tobii Tech. After earning his Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, he held various positions both in the US and Taiwan with companies like Intel, Ciena, TU/e, and Cisco. After a 15 year career with Intel, he brought his wealth of experience and empowering leadership philosophy to Tobii Tech, an industry leader in eye-tracking technology, located in Stockholm, Sweden.
In today’s episode, we’ll trace the path less traveled that led Anand where he is today. He’ll share how risk-taking played a pivotal role in his ability to make fearless transitions throughout his career, and how he found the courage to jump when new opportunities came knocking.
We’ll also talk about how you can learn to hone your capacity to take “educated risks”, the importance of good managers as role models, and how he shaped his unique leadership philosophy, one that represents the benchmark for a productive and empowered workforce.
