🎉 Exciting news to share 🎉 Onaroll has been my home for the past 3 years...but today that changes. Today marks the start of something I've wanted so bad. Something that will surely capture the attention of my more seasoned and wiser future self. As I reflect on the past three years at Onaroll, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible journey and the remarkable people I've had the privilege to work alongside. These years have been a transformative experience filled with growth, challenges, and triumphs. Colleagues have turned to friends, and there is now a real business in the performance-based rewards space working with some of the most iconic brands on the planet. As I express my gratitude for the professional and personal growth these three years have brought, I eagerly anticipate the future endeavors the squad at Onaroll will embark on as they continue to thrive and make a positive impact on the millions of shift-workers out there. While I've had a blast building and leading revenue teams at multiple VC-backed tech companies these past 12 years, today starts a new adventure. I've joined forces with one of the most inspiring and tenacious people I know, Mark Mirra, as we continue course in powering human potential through better negotiating here at Aligned.  As co-founders, we're going to do everything we can to demystify negotiation as we make it more approachable and accessible. We're also going to have a ridiculous amount of fun doing it. 🚀 A lot more to come on this soon 💪 For now, Happy 2024. Go write that next chapter. 📈 #Aligned #negotiation

It's been 5+ years since this video about RockYou got launched. The making of this video still remains fresh and one of the high points in my career. When I decided to "rejoin" Rockyou, I wanted to make an impactful comeback. I had bounced the idea of making this video about who we were and what we do at Rockyou. The idea caught on. I set an expectation that we will not go to any external agency and we make this video entirely inhouse and this video needs to be launched on my very first townhall after rejoining the company. The way everyone joined the bandwagon was nothing but inspirational. It helped uncover the hidden talent within the team with the camera work, lighting, video editing, sound engineering etc., none of which was their day job at the company. It was also the first time they were either working behind the camera or in front of it. With everyone's contribution this video was launched successfullt on my first townhall. It brought a huge smile and a sense of accomplishment. The toughest job was to condense the content to less than 5 mins! A year later, Rockyou went through an acquisition, and I had a tumultuous time navigating the company through this acquisition. I started spending more time with legal and accounting teams than product development and engineering teams. Burnt a few (rather lot of) bridges and lost the purpose enroute. It took a lot of time for me to come out of the stormy exit, but it was good while it lasted! :) Couple of key lessons that I learnt through the experience - Having a purpose and inspiring the team towards that purpose is the most challenging and rewarding experience a leader can have. Even harder is to keep reasserting the purpose while navigating through the difficult circumstances :). Thanks for reading. Would be keen to hear your thoughts on setting a purpose for self and team. #RKMusings #WeekendVibes #purpose #leadership https://lnkd.in/gnTGmiqj
