Taina Silingardi
Head of People & Culture at Athyna
Hey I’m Taina 👋🏼 I’m a Brazilian-born, Peruvian-raised, Aussie citizen, currently living the digital nomad life.
Over the last few years I have been lucky enough to work across a range of startups including Uber, through its early years and through its IPO, Darktrace, a cyber security company that uses AI to identify, prevent, and eliminate insider threats, and now Athyna, a global employment platform whose mission is to help democratise opportunity across the globe.
I am super passionate about volunteering and sustainability 🌱. When I’m not busy with work, I enjoy being out in nature, travelling, catching up with friends and walking my dog, Ziggy. 🐶

Personal Q&A
How do you like to run meetings?
I like to start weekly team meetings with an activity or a random question. It's a great way to get to know each other, particularly if there are team members located in different countries and don't get so see each other in person. I also like structure, so I like to have an agenda where everyone adds items before hand. It makes meetings more efficient in my opinion.
