What’s your background and how did you get into management?

I’ve been working in the Silicon Valley my entire life. In order, I worked at Borland, Symantec, Netscape, Icarian, Apple, Palantir, Pinterest, and now at Slack.

I got into management at Netscape. Tony asked me to lead a team and I said “Yes” not knowing what he was asking.
