Where I am now
Yammer video
(youtube: We Are Yammer)
1st day of school – still not a morning person
Last day of Year 11, on way to A-levels
What now?!?!?!??!?!?!
Got a place at Durham to study history but didn’t know what I wanted to do. So worked at M&S and then travelled Europe
Durham was awesome. With a history degree you have a lot of spare time… find out what extra curricularsand people you like.
What now?!?!?!??!?!?!
Internship at online start up – try everything
Grad scheme – slow conveyor belt
Gamble on an awesome product and amazing team. Totally paid off.
First day sent to SF
Dingy first Yammer EMEA office where we ran out of furniture and everyone was family
We played softball.
We partied.
We were acquired because we were beating giants. 2 years after the acquisition we’re changing the world at scale.
What now?!?!?!??!?!?!
Advice from people smarter than me
Find something you love
Failure is good + no one knows what they’re doing!
Be open minded
Do focus on the short term too because no one knows what will happen anyway
University – Yay or Nay?
