Stas Kharkats
Head of People and Programs @ SMS Datacenter
About
Enamored with building a remarkable team and improving how we operate, cultivating SMS into a frankly awesome company. I believe in being decent with people, strategic with programs, judicious with operations, and that each thrives when clear and aligned with each other. Data's rationality and human context's thoughtfulness should intertwine, or we're doggy paddling 10 miles offshore.
