Episode #250 features a rare in-depth conversation with Rob
Giglio, Chief Customer Officer at Canva, the world’s leading
visual AI platform serving 200M+ users globally. Previously, he
held senior leadership roles at Adobe, DocuSign, and HubSpot and
more.
In conversation with Vidit Agarwal, Rob shares the real story
behind his career, including growing up in a military family,
navigating setbacks like being laid off, and redefining success
beyond titles.
He unpacks what it takes to build high-performing teams - hiring
top 1–3% talent and balancing performance with genuine care for
people, how he’s stayed relevant across decades of change from
CPG to SaaS to AI, and how he’s now scaling Canva’s enterprise
growth as a visual AI platform. He also shares why he’s
intentionally chosen impact, customers, and craft over becoming a
CEO.
