Faces of Skedulo: Leila Watson

People are the heart of Skedulo, and success—for us, our team and our customers—is a collaborative effort. We are proud of our team’s achievements and celebrate them every month with our Skedgend Awards. A Skedgend is a teammate who has been nominated by their peers for consistently demonstrating excellence in our values:

How long have you been with Skedulo?

I’ve been at Skedulo for just over 3 years.

Why did you choose to work with Skedulo?

I was just very excited about the problem space that Skedulo is in. I think scheduling is super interesting. The product we’re making is very impactful to our customers, so that’s part of the reason why I decided to work here…for those interesting challenges.   

What’s your favorite thing about your role with Skedulo?

Being able to design for complex problems. Scheduling on the surface seems quite simple, but when you dig deeper it’s very complex. I love solving those kinds of challenges; being able to talk to our customers, understanding their pain points and what motivates them, and then – at the end – being able to serve our customers and help make a big impact in their day-to-day life. It’s super rewarding and fun.

What does winning the Skedgend Award mean to you?

Really humbling. It’s nice to be valued. I think day-to-day you don’t really think about the impact you have on your team members, and being nominated for Skedgend just really makes me appreciate the people around me as well. 

What stories supported your win for the Skedgend Award?

I think just being there for everyone, helping them out, as well as being able to work on a whole range of design tasks – anywhere from helping from the vision to the day-to-day design details and supporting everyone throughout the team.
