As chief information officer for electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian, Diane Lye has a front-row seat in the carbon-free transportation revolution. A veteran of companies such as CapitalOne and Amazon, Lye has enjoyed a varied career as a demographer and statistician, among other roles.
In this episode of Conversations with Zendesk, Lye spoke about leadership lessons she’s learned over her career, why it’s so important to find meaning in your work, and the challenges Rivian faces as it expands globally while fine-tuning the customer experience.
“We have a lot of big ideas about how we want to improve our customer experiences across sales, servicing, and support,” Lye said. “We’re beginning to think about what is the next generation, what will the next step look like?”
