About Sushmita Mishra

I partner with founders and business leaders to build teams, systems, and cultures that scale with the business.My work focuses on aligning people strategy with business outcomes org design, performance management, compensation benchmarking, manager capability, and employee relations. I work closely with leadership teams to solve people problems that impact growth, execution, and retention, while ensuring clarity, fairness, and accountability across the organization.Over the last 7+ years at Squadstack, I’ve grown with the company through multiple phases of scale starting by building the Talent Acquisition function from scratch and hiring across leadership, Engineering, Data Science, Sales, and GTM. That foundation gave me a deep understanding of the business, which naturally evolved my role into People Success and Business Partnering.
