The Untold LinkedIn Hypergrowth Story
Session Overview:
If you’re leading a small or mid-size company preparing for rapid growth — or you’ve just hit that thrilling, chaotic stretch where success creates new challenges — this session is for you.
Everyone wants growth. Few are ready for what it really takes. In Scaling at the Speed of Trust, Steve Cadigan — LinkedIn’s first CHRO and architect of its legendary hyper-growth culture — shares the inside story of how the company scaled from 400 to 4,000 employees in just four years, and the lessons every growing business can apply today.
This isn’t a talk about hiring faster — it’s about scaling smarter. Steve reveals how trust, transparency, and culture became LinkedIn’s greatest competitive advantage — and how small and mid-size firms can use the same principles to grow without losing what makes them great.

Founders and CEOs navigating early-stage or mid-stage scale
-
HR and People leaders building culture through rapid change
-
Executives and managers preparing their teams for the next growth phase
