Today on The Salience Podcast we explore organizational culture with our guest Jessie Xia.

Jessie is the Global Chief Information Officer of Thoughtworks, a global technology company with over 50 offices in 18 countries. Thoughtworks has been internationally recognised as one of the “Great places to work”, and we discuss how the organization has managed its culture as it has scaled. We discuss the benefits, as well as challenges of having a strong culture.

Jessie has been with Thoughtworks for 17 years, starting off as hire no.7 in its China office. She moved to Singapore in 2016 to support Thoughtwork’s setup of its Southeast Asia operations. And is now its new Global CIO. She is a full council member at SG Tech, Singapore's leading trade association for its technology industry as a Councillor, and also actively supports DEI initiatives for Women in Tech. 

Tune in to discover Jessie’s experiences pivoting across different parts of the business, and into lateral roles, and how she currently applies strategic management of ambiguity to manage an international team of 500… we discuss how it is critical to recognise and manage uncertainty that is within our control, and where we need to be ready for uncertainty that is a part of navigating the complexities of organizational innovation.
