I can remember at each career inflection point the person who took a bet on me.
When I joined Google it was Kim. When I moved to product, Marissa & Brian. Then to Redpoint, it was the early stage team : Geoff, Tim, Chris, & Scott. Lloyd & Frank at Looker for their Series A. Today, it’s the team & the LPs at Theory.
That’s the very beginning of the list.
For me, Thanksgiving at work is about the gratitude to those people who made those moments in a career that could have turned out so differently.
Who took a bet on you?
