Carrie Whitehead

Carrie is awesome. She's a very talented designer, with strengths in both visual design and user experience, a passionate innovator, a great operational manager and strong team builder/leader. Lots of design leaders have one or two of these skills, but Carrie brings them all together. And she's a good person - funny, smart and low-drama. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat.

Carrie managed me for a short time at Westfield Labs, but it was a fantastic few months. She was calm and pragmatic in extremely difficult situations, because I could tell she’d dealt with just about anything before. She was transparent with information and had honest no-nonsense answers to questions, inspiring trust among her team. She’s also a stellar designer who approached problems methodically, armed with research and data. Carrie was refreshingly honest and tremendously talented, and I sincerely enjoyed working under her!

Leader. Enabler. Strategist.

I’ve reported to Carrie for almost four years at Salesforce. Often times, I’ve asked myself how she manages to keep her collective and calm at all times, even when tension levels are at absolute highs. Not once in four years would she turn a 1:1 into what she cared about most, but consistently kept her focus on what’s top of mind for me and how I’d be best supported. She brings joy to the workspace, excels at leading from behind, loves enabling and growing her people, unlocking opportunities and scaling organizations in mind with what’s best for the business long-term. One to never complain while leading through change with strategic clarity, Carrie never needed easy – she just needed possible. I’m grateful for all that I’ve learned from her.
