Spencer Rascoff’s Speech Topics
Building Culture in the Modern Workplace
Spencer spent more than a decade building a best-in-class workplace culture at Zillow — but then the pandemic upended everything we thought was important about company culture. In this speech, he discusses the pillars of building a great workplace in an era where workers have found more power and a louder voice. He serves as a conduit between established leaders and the next generation, who expect something different out of work.
Hit the Curveball
In an inspirational talk about the many curveballs Spencer has been pitched (9/11 while running travel company Hotwire; a housing-led recession while leading Zillow), he discusses how to quickly pivot and deal with adversity.
Future of Tech
Spencer often looks into the crystal ball for tech audiences, talking about how funding cycles, technological innovations and changing culture will affect the future of tech companies.
