36:26Elena Verna describes how she moved from an entry-level analytics role at SurveyMonkey to senior leadership by building on her analytics strengths and seeking career inflection points. After a difficult leadership job match, she began advising companies as a way to test fit, then discovered that advising and interim roles let her learn across businesses and focus on her strengths. She explains how content and referrals support her independent business, and outlines five growth principles: reach product-market fit, use data, scale with frameworks, build loops, evolve incrementally, and turn failures into learnings. For career optionality, she recommends building a public brand, finding a clear market position, and keeping the skill that makes you distinctive.
