Varun Krishna
Rocket Companies, CEO
EPISODE 302
Culture is rooted in behavior, not words
We’ve all heard the famous quote that “culture eats strategy for breakfast.”
But as CEO of Rocket Companies, Varun Krishna knows that a healthy work environment doesn’t just happen. In this episode, he talks about why so many organizations get it wrong. He also shares several key principles he and his team use to forge their culture in real behavior, not just words on a slide deck.
That foundation has allowed Rocket to scale massively—including over $16 billion in acquisitions—without losing who they are.
This episode is for you if:
- You are always looking for ways to strengthen your culture
- You want to find a noble cause for your business
- You develop products or work with customers
- You want to be more present at home
