Merging Teams At Buzzfeed: 6 months, 4 crises, 7 lessons.

Enabling cross-functional product teams can be a daunting task because its not just about the work but also the politics involved. And as CTO of Buzzfeed, is what Peter Wang faces.
In this session, Peter Wang will reflect on his first six months as BuzzFeed CTO of a cross-functional team, and the 4 challenges he faced: health, economic, social, and attrition.
He hopes to turn his renewed perspectives such as building trust as a new leader, finding your voice during a crisis, to new way to think about retention, and more. He can’t promise it’s exactly seven lessons, but it’s more than three.
