FreeHow to Build a Future-Proof Talent Strategy in the Age of AI
The rise of AI is transforming the tech landscape. While it unlocks incredible potential, it also raises questions: How do you build a winning team in this new era? How can you leverage AI’s power without sacrificing human ingenuity?
In an era dominated by AI innovation, it’s crucial for businesses to stay ahead by cultivating a robust talent strategy. In a webinar for Founders Network on June 13, Howdy.com Founder and CTO Frank Licea will provide valuable insights into this evolving dynamic.
Howdy.com is a Y-Combinator company backed by Obvious and Greycroft. They help U.S. tech companies find and retain the best LATAM talent to power successful, diverse, long-term tech teams.
Frank will share real-world insights from successful tech teams:
- Lessons Learned: Discover effective strategies to build diverse, long-term tech teams that thrive in the dynamic AI environment.
- Mitigating Risk: Learn how to navigate the evolving talent landscape and minimize risk factors in team building.
- Actionable Strategies: Gain practical takeaways to implement in your own company, ensuring you attract and retain the best talent.
About the Speaker:
Frank Licea is the co-founder and CTO of Howdy.com, a talent-sourcing platform that solves US tech companies’ biggest challenge — scaling their teams.
Howdy.com is a product of Frank’s frustration with the flaws in the traditional outsourcing model. Incentive conflicts, cultural clashes, and time zone differences prevent CTOs from building thriving product teams.
Frank realized that he had to change the game to make the nearshoring of LatAm talent work. Drawing on two decades of experience in product development and engineering, Frank focuses on imprinting individual company culture on extended engineering teams.
Obvious, Greycroft, and Y-Combinator back Howdy.com, and it works with Coinbase, WP Engine, OJO Labs, and others.
Frank, an empathetic leader with a wry sense of humor, lives in Austin, TX, with his wife and two daughters.
