About this episode

Maeva Cifuentes catches up with Adam Harris, CEO of property management software company Cloudbeds, about managing and scaling an entirely remote global team of more than 600 people.

Adam explains how Cloudbeds builds a community where people feel valued, celebrated and supported. That culture keeps employees aligned with the mission and motivated to take great care of customers. He shares how the team gets new hires to “bleed blue” from their very first interview, and what he looks for when hiring smart, motivated and humble people.

He also walks through how Cloudbeds juggles tools and communication channels, and why open, two-way communication carries company values straight to employees.

“Your number one asset is your people, so you better take care of that greatest asset, develop it, give it things that lead to additional incentive.”Adam Harris, CEO of Cloudbeds
