LucidLink, a global leader in remote collaboration, has created a new People and Culture Organization designed for its remote and hybrid workforce. To lead this new organization, the company has appointed Marilyn Charlton as Vice President of People and Culture and Angelina Galabova as head of the People and Culture team in Europe. Together, they will establish programs and resources that help employees, regardless of where they work, have an inclusive experience and do the best work of their careers.
“When George Dochev and I founded LucidLink, we were intentional in our decision to treat exceptional people and a strong, positive company culture as a strategic advantage. We started with five people in five different time zones and kept expanding from there. With employee growth tripling over the course of the past year, it is a pivotal time to bring on People and Culture leaders who will ensure we continue to cultivate learning, belonging and growth,” said Peter Thompson, co-founder and CEO of LucidLink. “Our culture and core values are essential to our purpose and identity, so as we grow, it’s important they are shared and celebrated by new professionals joining our team. Marilyn and Angelina bring a wealth of experience building top talent teams for value-led organizations like ours.”
LucidLink founders purposely built the organization about people, not places.
Since launching in 2016, LucidLink founders purposely built the organization about people, not places. Today, the workforce includes remote and hybrid employees – just like the customers LucidLink serves. This design allows all LucidLink employees to understand and empathize with the problems its Filespaces technology solves and the innovation, access to top talent and efficiency it fosters. The company’s goal in creating a People and Culture function for a hybrid and remote workforce is to ensure a “work anywhere” focus drives employee experience rather than traditional human resources geared to the office or location-specific services.
