Transitioning from a developer to a manager is challenging, and I miss coding, but it's important to recognize that many people at Stripe are also transitioning to management roles.

As CEO, I've transitioned from being a micromanager to learning to delegate, focusing on being a culture carrier and making tough philosophical decisions.

Learning to hire and manage effectively became crucial as I transitioned from building a product to building a company that creates products.

I transitioned from product management to marketing because I felt that marketing was an area we hadn't fully figured out yet, despite having a functioning sales team and clear product-market fit.

I chose to intern at Yelp instead of returning to Google because I wanted to experience different company cultures and gain diverse experiences.

My leadership has evolved significantly since Uber, where I learned from running a small team to managing thousands of employees and millions of drivers.

My role evolved from being hands-on in the early days to focusing on hiring and maintaining company direction as we scaled.

I realized that I enjoy inspiring others and catalyzing ideas rather than being the one to build the product, which has shaped my career path.

I interviewed at Yelp multiple times, and even after failing an interview at Facebook, I was able to leverage that experience for future opportunities.
