      I have some personal news. After a fantastic experience at Stripe, I’ve decided to step down from my role and take an extended break to recharge with my family.pic.twitter.com/4WjuYbAFsC

      It’s an incredibly hard decision to step back from Stripe, because it’s an amazing company and the business is cranking. But a few things on the personal side have given me the perspective that it’s time to prioritize family and take some significant time off to spend with them.

      The founders, board, and all of Stripe have been extremely supportive and understanding about this move, which has been great. It's been super important to me to do this transition right, and I'll continue to play a role in searching for my replacement.

      Stripe is on a phenomenal trajectory, and I'm really proud of what we’ve built together. The team has great traction with users of all sizes—including newer ones like Amazon, Google, Uber, Spotify, & Booking—and we’ve ramped our go-to-market efforts across the world.

      Huge thanks to @patrickc, @collision, and @chughesjohnson for inviting me along on this Stripe journey. And thanks most of all to the broader team—I’ve been honored and humbled to build this business with you, and I can’t tell you how much I’ll miss you day-to-day. 🙏🙏

          As I depart from Stripe, I'll be an advisor to the company wherever I can be helpful, and I’ll always feel like part of the Stripe family. ❤️ As for my extended break, I’m really looking forward to spending some long-overdue time with my other family—the actual one! 🙂💕

          My son is heading to college in the fall (Go Duke!), so it’s great timing to be able to hang out with him and catch up on life with the rest of the Alfonsi crew.

          My top priorities for quite a while will include family trips, exercise, reading, and maybe a little TV binge-watching. Hit me up with your best vacation ideas, reading lists, and Netflix recommendations! 🌎✈️🏖⛺️📖📺

          After that, we’ll see what the future holds—perhaps something along the lines of working with startups as an advisor to help them scale. I’m thrilled that the next chapter is totally open-ended for the first time in my career. Stay tuned and stay in touch!
