Arnnon Geshuri is the legendary Chief People Officer behind the world's most iconic workforces. From the early days of Google to the high-stakes scaling of Tesla under Elon Musk, and now leading the charge at Snowflake, Arnnon has mastered the art of "human engineering" at a scale very few on Earth have ever seen.
In this conversation, Arnnon pulls no punches on what it actually takes to build a high-performance culture. We discuss the "performance DNA" required to survive in a hyper-growth environment, the truth about hiring for grit over skill, and why most leaders are too afraid to demand excellence.
We discuss:
- The Elon Musk Era: What it’s really like building a team at Tesla.
- The High-Performance Secret: Why some people thrive under pressure while others crack.
- The "Zero Gravity" Culture: How Snowflake maintains its hiring edge while scaling to billions.
This is a masterclass in leadership, psychology, and the brutal reality of what it takes to build a world-class organization.
