Robert F. Smith Talks Tech, Community, and Giving Back

During an interview held at the Yale School of Management, Vista's ‪@RobertFSmithOfficial‬ discussed the importance of employee growth and development. When employees bring their true selves to work and are thoughtfully encouraged and supported, it ultimately benefits not just an organization, but all stakeholders.
At Vista, we’ve fostered an environment where everyone - regardless of tenure - has a seat at the table to ask questions, innovate and continuously improve. In the interview, Robert emphasized this crucial part of our employee development strategy, saying “the dynamic I always encouraged and elicited was the most junior persons speak first about their ideas and thoughts...so it wouldn't stifle or disable what I'll call free-flowing ideas and information." Watch to learn more about how Robert’s background has influenced Vista to be a place where everyone can become their best selves.
