She’s a humble tech sales queen who keeps it real - and if you’re curious about breaking into the space, this one’s for you ✨. 👉Connect with Claudia on: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudiaroussel/⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@claudiaroussel_ 👉 Check out Rippling All-in-one HR Software: ⁠⁠https://www.rippling.com/⁠ 💛 Support the pod 💛
