Three months ago I joined Brandwatch as their first ever VP of Global Community & Belonging. I initially approached this newly created role with an unsettling combination of enthusiasm and self-doubt.
Would I be able to deliver on the expectations I created during the interview process?
Would I be able to gel with the team and make an impact in my first few months?
Would I be able to be authentically me, and challenge racism and other forms of oppression wherever I see them manifesting?
These are the questions that kept me up at night.
