After 11 years at Lyft, Kristin Sverchek stepped into the president's role earlier this year. She was the ride-hailing company's first general counsel, helped take Lyft public, and was named president in July. She's gotten more comfortable using her voice over the years, despite certain leadership muscles being "hard to develop," Sverchek recently told Business Insider. What I'm really excited about is that right now it's feeling like we have all of these little building blocks that we're putting into place at the company. So I'm really full of optimism for the new year.
