Naz Irani is a PreSales leader who has spent the past decade building Enterprise PreSales teams at companies including Akamai and Stripe. Her true passion lies in building high performing user-focused teams in high growth environments, and more importantly, playing a role in helping people build successful careers. As president of the PreSales Leadership Collective (PSLC) council, she has made significant contributions to the PreSales function and she is currently focused on building a team to enable and innovate with Stripe’s Enterprise users.
Naz and I have conversations about how she discovered her "North Star" in her career many years ago, and that led her to realizing she wanted to be a team manager and focus her career on growing and developing teams and individuals into their own successes.
Naz has had a long journey and is committed to empowering those like herself, with DEI being a key focus as she builds for the future with her team. Her family of 4, including 2 kids (1 and 4 year old), inspire her and she believes spending time with them is what helps her get better everyday.
