Shirin Oshidari - Leading with Resilience and Adaptability Path to Growth: Conversations with Leaders on Go-To-Market

Tracy Young speaks with Shirin Oshidari, an experienced sales leader with a background in companies like OpenSpace, Streetlight Data, and Autodesk. Shirin shares her unique life journey, starting with her upbringing in Tehran, Iran, during the revolution, which led her to move to the U.S. as a teenager. She talks about growing up mostly alone, as her siblings were abroad and she was much younger than them, which cultivated her independence and resilience.
Shirin attributes her character and approach to life significantly to her father, describing him as a no-nonsense, positive person. She discusses how the challenges of losing everything at a young age and being refugees shaped her outlook on life, teaching her to make the best out of difficult situations and to focus on education and moving forward.
