“Bringing in new talent was the best thing I've ever done.”   Mark Boyes-Smith, Head of Design at Miro, sits down with ZEREN's Kimberley Wardle on the latest episode of Hired to Lead.   Everyone else was hiring senior. Mark bet on early-career designers instead - no baked-in assumptions, no legacy baggage, just fresh energy and a willingness to figure things out from day one. He calls it the best design team he's ever built. That instinct runs through the whole conversation. Mark explains why he thinks AI is one of the biggest opportunities design has ever had - not a threat -  and the proof is in his own team: prototyping has flipped almost entirely from Figma to code in a matter of months. He also gets specific on what he now looks for when hiring: less "can you design," more "can you think across the whole stack." It's a rare, honest look at what design leadership actually looks like right now.   Connect with Mark and learn more about Miro: www.miro.com 👉 Listen or watch the full episode below: 🎧 https://lnkd.in/eKEUUUyN 📺 https://lnkd.in/ep96Xi2U #Leadership #ProductDesign #AI #HiredtoLead #ZEREN
