Noting that the way in which its solutions are used applies not just to customers but also itself, remote broadcast collaboration solutions provider LucidLink has created a new people and culture organisation designed for its hybrid workforce.

To lead the new organisation, the company has appointed Marilyn Charlton (pictured) as vice president of people and culture and Angelina Galabova as head of the company’s People and Culture team in Europe. Together, they will establish programmes and resources that help employees, regardless of where they work have an inclusive experience and do the best work of their careers.

LucidLink’s goal in creating a People and Culture function for a hybrid and remote workforce is to ensure a “work anywhere” focus drives employee experience rather than traditional human resources geared to the office or location-specific services. Since launching in 2016, the company’s founders say they purposely built the organisation about people, not places. This new working model is designed to allows all LucidLink employees to understand and empathise with the problems its Filespaces collaboration technology is designed to solves and the innovation, access to top talent and efficiency that the company claims that it fosters.

“When [we] founded LucidLink, we were intentional in our decision to treat exceptional people and a strong, positive company culture as a strategic advantage. We started with five people in five different time zones and kept expanding from there. With employee growth tripling over the course of the past year, it is a pivotal time to bring on People and Culture leaders who will ensure we continue to cultivate learning, belonging and growth,” said Peter Thompson, co-founder and CEO of LucidLink explaining the move.

“Our culture and core values are essential to our purpose and identity, so as we grow, it's important they are shared and celebrated by new professionals joining our team. Marilyn and Angelina bring a wealth of experience building top talent teams for value-led organisations like ours.”

Charlton has more than 25 years of experience as a People and Culture leader. From working for early-stage companies, pre-IPO startups, and publicly traded global organisations, Marilyn is skilled at building People and Culture organisations that fit the business strategy. Her career includes working for Citrix Systems, Covad Communications and Winstar Communications.

Galabova started her career in “blended” finance and human resource roles. It has shaped her perspective on delivering programs for human resources (HR) focused on serving the “human” with great employee experiences. From payroll to benefits to learning and development and well-being services, she works to create a work experience for all employees to thrive. Angelina has been in People and Culture leadership roles for the past ten years. Most recently, she was Smule's HR Director; before that, she was with ScaleForce, Honeywell Aviaso, Fuze, and Vayant Travel Technologies.
