Carbon Robotics Career Growth & Development

What makes promotion criteria feel fair and clear — and what evidence supports that?

I believe Carbon Robotics has some of the clearest promotion criteria: Work hard, perform at a high level and deliver when it counts, and you’ll be rewarded. The company’s structure reflects this; many of the people now in key leadership roles started in lower-level positions. Their growth within the organization shows that promotions are based on proven performance and reliability, which makes the process feel both fair and motivating, at least in my opinion!

Which program changed your capability — with what measurable result?

The manufacturing program at Carbon Robotics has significantly expanded my capabilities as both a leader and a professional. By placing trust in my potential, my leadership empowered me to build a rapidly scaling, highly capable and effective team that consistently delivers at a high level. As a result, we now have an internal manufacturing organization that spans three production-capable facilities globally that can iterate quickly, meet demand efficiently and outperform our previous contract manufacturer in both production volume and product quality.

What coaching habit consistently moves careers forward?

I believe it to be a combination of two coaching habits that help people grow: actively listening to them as well as challenging them with new goals or more responsibility.
