The heavy lifters: How small people ops teams do big things

Behind every smart, fast-growing startup is a scrappy People team making it happen. In this session, Georgie Roberts shares what it takes to build systems, shape culture, and drive scale—when you’re short on people and time. Drawing on her work at Float.com and BuzzFeed, she’ll explore how to prioritise what matters, ignore what doesn’t, and lay down just enough process to get out of your own way. This is a session for the unsung builders—the ones doing the work behind the work.
