    Holy. Shit. Have been so fortunate to hear from remarkable leaders – from Fortune 10 CEOs to breakthrough startup founders – at . Not one speaker has been as dynamic + truly energizing as in 's class. A competitive advantage worth aspiring to.

    I got lousy advice at outset of my investing career to avoid giving founders feedback when passing. Unfortunately stuck with me for too long, but a welcome reminder that it can be done well. In hindsight, pretty silly to think that a founder can’t handle a constructive “no.”

    Just returned from retail trek to UK + Paris. Leaders – from mass market () to luxury (), journalism () to strategy () – are laser focused on sustainability. Fashion’s the 2nd most polluting industry globally, and there’s a true sense of urgency

    One of my last projects in Seattle was to help reimagine the Alexa app, which was hovering at ~2.4 stars in 2018. So gratifying to see how far it’s come (4.6 ⭐️) and atop the App Store. Few places teach customer obsession like Amazon.

    Just texted a friend who’s from NY “are you in NY?” It’s amazing that despite seemingly endless efforts from companies like Foursquare (Swarm), Apple (Find My Friends), Facebook (Nearby Friends), Snap (Maps), Google (Maps), etc. that no one’s cracked real-time location. Why?

    One of my most memorable interview questions was in a PM loop ~six years ago: How would you grade Apple’s handling of the well-intentioned/poorly-executed U2 album ➡️ all iPhones debacle?

    I think role-plays are one of the most underutilized tools in business. At first, the exercise seemed kitschy. But once I realized it’s not worth leaving the most important conversations to chance, it has become a force to anticipate others + prepare for difficult interactions

    Truly fascinating how many founders, execs + investors alike who reference being influenced by Winston Churchill. At least 1x/wk occurrence. Is there a Churchill whisperer out there? Today’s: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts”

    Can’t stop thinking about this tweet. In the last 6 months, I’ve spoken w/ 200+ investors across all stages, from pre-seed to public markets, to build perspective about investing as a career path. Will never forget immense kindness of some and the sheer dismissiveness of others

    I swear the busiest people are (almost) always the ones to respond most quickly. I wonder if it's a result of highly effective behaviors / an externality of a superb triage system, or whether they just remember when they were less powerful and want to pay it forward. Or both?🤷

    100%. Once ML is intelligent enough to understand intent, effectively eliminating the need for recall of specific voice utterances, and (predictive) recommendations are comprehensive enough, I expect adoption will accelerate dramatically

    Knowing when to push a team to meet an aggressive deadline versus playing the role of “Chief Slowdown Officer” (Jeff’s words) to take a long-term view is such a crucial + elusive skill

    I had lunch with my old boss at Amazon yesterday, Dave Limp (SVP Devices & Alexa). I wanted to know what he appreciates most about working for Bezos; decisively he responded Jeff’s ability to “be strategically patient, and tactically impatient.” – mjesto: Stanford Graduate School of Business

    Speaking of travel: I almost exclusively wear a blazer when ✈️ these days (which as a Bschool student is often). Generally, it’s a super cheap jacket but wonder if there’s something to “dressing the part”? In past month, notable VCs to CEO of massive co’s have struck-up convos 🤔

    Found myself writing a cold email to an investor I admire last night. An hour later, the very same person is in front of me at airport security and two rows behind me on our flight. I introduced myself and we are grabbing coffee. Sometimes the world works in funny ways.

    Bittersweet’s an understatement, but I’m helping find my backfill on Alexa Music. We’re looking for a Principal PM to take over my work, which includes defining the 🎵 CX for all sorts of new devices. DM me if you / someone you know is amazing & in SEA!
