About this episode

Sam Valentine discusses the intersection of people strategy and business performance, emphasizing the role of AI and culture in organizational success.

Sam Valentine is the head of Employee Performance and Experience at miro, operating at the sharp edge of where people strategy meets business performance. At Miro, he’s shaping both employee experience and building people infrastructure designed to protect revenue, accelerate decision-making, and sustain performance through transformation. His work reframes HR from a support function into a core lever of competitive advantage. From retaining talented people through change to compressing strategic decision timelines from weeks to days using AI-powered insights, Sam brings a deeply data-driven, outcome-oriented lens to culture, performance, and leadership. In this conversation, we unpack what it really means to build human sustainability systems that scale, how AI is reshaping people leadership, and why the future of work belongs to organizations that can connect culture directly to measurable business outcomes.
