Podcast: What Fuels Apptentive’s CEO and Co-founder, Robi Ganguly

Local Seattle recruiting firm, Fuel Talent, launched a new podcast called What Fuels You earlier this year. CEO Shauna Swerland was inspired to create this podcast because of all the incredible people she has met in her 25-year recruiting career. Each episode features an interview with interesting and successful leaders about their journey to success.

In today’s episode, Shauna sat down with Apptentive CEO and Co-founder, Robi Ganguly. They discuss the origin story of Apptentive including how we have evolved and grown over the years, what our leadership team looks for in board members and investors, and how our values shape our company culture.

Robi also dives into one of the most important values here, customer love, and shares why giving everyone a voice is so important.

In this episode, Robi also opens up about his childhood and being a first-generation American, his love for reading and Tae Kwon Do, why he chose to go to Pomona College, three things he prioritizes in his morning routine, and more.

Overall, this episode is a fantastic starting point for anyone interested in learning what it takes to lead a purpose-driven, successful startup here in Seattle, or anyone who is curious to learn more about the values that drive Apptentive.

New episodes of What Fuels You will be released weekly on Tuesday mornings. You can listen, rate and subscribe on iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Stitcher. You can also contact them at podcast@fueltalent.com with any questions or comments.
