When Ania moved to the US from Poland at the tender age of 12, she didn’t speak a word of English.
Today, she’s the CEO of Taskrabbit, after building her leadership chops at Walmart, Uber, and Airbnb.
You don’t get that kind of career trajectory by playing it safe.
In this episode, Ania shares how taking bold risks has helped her succeed, and why she’s building a culture where people are encouraged to be bold, experiment, and learn both from what works and what doesn’t.
