Season 2 Episode 44 - Playbook: Building Process Without Killing Momentum

This week on the Managed Chaos Podcast, Katrina Purcell interviews Daisy Onubogu, a creative operator, community-builder, and systems thinker who has led teams in tech, venture capital, hospitality, and nonprofits.

Daisy shares how she builds lightweight playbooks to bring clarity to chaos, drawing from her experiences leading VIP speaker acquisition at Web Summit, building global community operations at Roam, investing and supporting founders at Backed VC, and leading People Ops at RoomPriceGenie.

Today, she’s the architect behind Symphony Collective/TRIBE Festival and host of the Strange Life podcast, where she translates messy human complexity into simple, repeatable practices. Together, Katrina and Daisy unpack how curiosity, creativity, and stakeholder engagement shape effective playbooks, and why the best ones are experienced, not just documented.
