Conéctate con Oriana Muñoz vía linkedin: Oriana Carolina Muñoz Tallaferro Notas del Programa: 01:00 – Dando la bienvenida a Oriana Muñoz01:50 – Acerca de Oriana03:30 – Cambio de Ingeniería industrial a finanzas empresariales Ingeniería Industrial es muy amplia con un poco de química, mecánica y sistemas,  y al final de la carrera existe la posibilidad de especificarse en lo que uno quiera. A nivel gerencial de procesos, se ocupa de la optimización de recursos de tiempo, dinero, personas y tecnología.  Utilizó esto como un puente para conectar todos sus conocimientos con la expansión, buscando la manera de encontrar sponsors o dinero para llegar a los objetivos. Oriana opina “El objetivo final no es necesariamente lo que tenés en la cuenta, sino el impacto que vas a ser”, y es así como comenzó en finanzas con su primer trabajo haciendo una pasantía en el laboratorio GSV Labs, expuesta al modo en que se trabaja con emprendedores, propuestas de venta y modelos de negocio. 05:52 – Aplicando a Google y distintos lugares. Manera en que Google se contactó con Oriana06:46 – El trabajo de Oriana en Google En Google, Oriana trabajó en eventos para el departamento de Cloud, como consultora de miles de pequeñas y medianas empresas que querían empezar a tener una estructura de negocio utilizando una plataforma de productividad G Suite, y con el tiempo, más a nivel de Cloud escalando todos los sistemas de información. Su aprendizaje fue continuo y aprendió a medida que fue haciendo, todo acerca de ella misma y del branding de la empresa.  “Uno le da valor a la empresa con el específico rol que ocupa” 07:44 – Si Oriana tuviese que volver a empezar en Google con todos sus conocimientos actuales, qué haría diferente y que no09:40 – Ambiente de trabajo y recuerdos de Google Oriana habla de su año en Google con mucho entusiasmo. Lo recuerda como una empresa fascinante porque trae a un mismo lugar mucho talento para hacer cosas revolucionarias, un espacio con mucha colaboración, y diversidad de cultura y conocimiento. “Lo que hace la diferencia En una empresa , es lo que marca la diferencia” 11:20 – Motivos por los cuales Oriana se fue de Google15:36 – Diferencia de proceso de entrevista entre Google y un startup Tanto las empresas establecidas como startups tienen diferentes posiciones y  tiempos para formalizar procesos. A la hora de entrevistas, una empresa establecida tiene los estándares más claros de lo que necesita para el rol a cubrir, en cambio un startup es claro de lo que necesita en el momento pero después de poco tiempo la persona no solamente haga eso sino muchas otras cosas más; la persona es mucho más indispensable ya que necesita ocupar huecos necesarios. Google tiene un branding que hace mucho más fácil atraer talento pero es más probable que tomen a gente de adentro porque cuesta mucho entrenar a alguien y que aprendan su cultura. 18:12 – Una historia: Cuando Oriana le preguntó al CEO del startup ¿Cuántos clientes tienen?20:58 – Monto para el cierre de un series A 21:52 – Ocupación actual de Oriana - “De un startup Hustle a otro startup Hiretual”23:58 – Cómo llegar a este nuevo startup Hiretual y qué hacen25:22 – El reto más grande que tienen26:55 – El ritmo de vida que lleva estar en un startup31:23 – Últimas palabras de Oriana Acerca del Episodio: Oriana es parte de Hiretual, una empresa startup y plataforma de reclutamiento de talento para empresas que para ello utiliza tecnologías de A.I.

You know Silicon Valley – that magical place were people, ideas, investment, and opportunities have come together for years to generate the next generation of disruptive businesses. The big challenge for Silicon Valley has not been bringing all of those assets from around to the world to one place in Northern California – it’s been how to bring Silicon Valley to the world.Most specifically: How do you scale (to use a start-up word) the key elements around a start-up environment and distribute them globally?That’s just part of GSV Labs mission. GSV stands for Global Silicon Valley, and as you’ll hear from CEO Nikhil Sinha, that’s exactly what they are. From physical accelerators placed in some of the most exciting locations in the world to digital environment that connects some of the most remote, GSV Labs has pooled an extraordinary collection of entrepreneurs, corporations, thinkers, and technology.A word about Nikhil: He’s just the person to lead such an effort and well worth listening to. He has spent a career shuttling between launching and building global start-ups and leading various academic efforts, including as Vice Chancellor of Shiv Nadar University in India and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the University of Texas. Most recently he served as Chief Content Officer at Coursera, one of world's leading higher education platforms. It’s a great conversation.

This week’s guest, Mark Moe, is the Vice President of Global Business Development at GSV Capital (a.k.a. GSV Labs), an accelerator program most known for their 72,000 square foot campus at the epicenter of Silicon Valley. For the past twenty plus years, Mark has developed his understanding of business as an attorney, investment banker, and an advisor for countless startups. He was a managing director at Cherry Tree Investment Bank and a partner at Think Equity Partners. Basically, Mark has developed into an expert on startups. Tune in at he talks becoming successful with a focus on startups. Show Notes: 2:29 – “To this point, what has been the greatest moment of your professional career?” 3:47 – “Explain the moment you were closest to giving up.” 8:50 – “If you could go back into your early twenties, what would you do differently?” 10:25 – “What would be your singly biggest regret if you died tomorrow?” 11:03 – “What’s one life hack for listeners to focus on this week?” This week: Every night, map out your tomorrow. Write down what you need to accomplish and prioritize. Then, on the next day, make sure you follow through.  

Where do ideas and investment intersect? Michael Moe is founder of GSV, a modern merchant bank that invests, advises, and partners with the fastest growing, most dynamic companies in the world… what they call “the Stars of Tomorrow.”As you’ll hear, GSV – which stands for Global Silicon Valley – runs various investment vehicles, including the publicly traded GSV Capital. You may know of some of the companies in the GSV vehicles have invested in: Facebook, Spotify, Twitter, Lyft, Dropbox, Coursera, among others. I thought did.But GSV is far from your traditional investment play. They also incubates ideas – GSV Labs is just one example – next generation insights and technologies that, they expect, will help drive next generation business solutions.How does it work? As Moe explains, GSV has created an active web of companies, advisors, ideas, and investments across several key emerging growth industries, including Education, Big Data, Sustainability, Social/Mobile, and more.The result was a terrific conversation that covered the principles of emerging growth investing, thoughts on the pros – and cons – of the role tech plays in our daily lives, and what, exactly, defines innovation today.
