Smart Operator – Vered Raviv Schwarz

  • March 8, 2022March 8, 2022
  • by Claire

We have a smart operator and a great champion for women on the show this week. 

Her name is Vered Raviv Schwarz  and she’s spent the past 20 years in disruptive tech companies, based in Israel. 

These days Vered is President and Chief Operating Officer for Guesty, a property management platform offering software that’s used by people renting out short term and vacation rental properties around the world. With Guesty’s multiple features they can easily list and manage their rentals on multiple sites such as AirBnb and Vebo. 

Before Guesty, Vered spent nearly 6 years at the freelancer marketplace Fiverr as Chief Operating Officer. And prior to that she was a lawyer and General Counsel at other tech companies.

We’ve been struck by what a smart operator and thinker Vered is. 

In this episode you’ll hear a lot of great advice including:

  • How some of the best advice Vered was given, and now gives herself, changed the course of her entire career
  • Why she’s passionate about making tech companies more diverse and what she’s doing about that
  • How she helps companies successfully scale and grow globally 
  • And why Vered’s a great believer in being able to make decisions quickly. 

Without further ado enjoy this episode with the switched on and dedicated Vered Raviv Schwarz.

Michelle Guthrie – Playing the Long Game

We can’t think of a better note to finish 2020 on than this week’s episode with an incredible woman and international leader, Michelle Guthrie.

Michelle may be best known for her time as Managing Director at the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation which is Australia’s equivalent to the UK’s BBC). She was dismissed halfway through her contract amidst great public controversy.

Prior to her role with the ABC, Michelle spent much of her career based in Asia where she was CEO of Star TV with more than 4,000 staff; and she also spent 5 years at Google Asia Pacific as a Managing Director there.

Nowadays, Michelle sits on a number of company boards and advises tech companies on scaling globally.

We had a really fascinating and uplifting conversation with Michelle and you’ll hear how:

  • Michelle transitioned her career from lawyer to global media and technology executive
  • Joining Google after running Star TV was a bit of a culture shock
  • She bounced back from her very public end at the ABC and how she thinks of this time;
  • And, hear her views on women being held to different standards in business.

We really loved this open conversation with Michelle and think you will too. Don’t miss this one!
