Hey everybody, so excited for this one :) Pedro Paiva is the Head of Operations at Yes Theory. He’s been with us for two years. When he first arrived, our system was in shambles. We needed someone to come in an re-organize the ship. He’s done an incredible job since then and has become such a good friend, that I felt it would be awesome for you guys to get to know him. This podcast is for anyone with a dream job or anyone who is curious about how things work behind the scenes here. I think you’ll love it :) Enjoy!
