Alice Farrell, the VP of People Operations at Grafana Labs, works remotely from North Yorkshire, UK, and has been with the company since January 2019, overseeing the recruitment and HR aspects of the growing organization. Since joining when the company had 37 employees, she has witnessed its expansion to over 140 staff members across 27 countries, which presents both challenges and rewards in her role. Alice describes her job as a pleasure due to her supportive team and the diverse, talented colleagues she interacts with daily. Outside of work, she manages life with two young boys and enjoys activities like cycling, reading, and socializing, although her free time is often consumed by parental duties and relaxation through TV shows like "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and "The Good Place." Originating from the Highlands of Scotland, she retains a fondness for local heather honey and Scottish oatcakes.
