The rapid evolution of work puts employee experience at the forefront.  My thoughts on how hybrid models present a unique paradox – enabling productivity without a full return to office. #hybridwork 💻☕

I'm excited to share that I'm joining HP as SVP & President of Worldwide Digital Services. Founded in 1939, HP was the original Silicon Valley startup. As a lifelong customer of the brand, I believe in HP's mission to create technology that makes life better for everyone. In this newly created role, I'll be driving HP's global digital software & services strategy, delivering AI-powered solutions that enable customers to transform their businesses and leverage HP's global reach. Looking forward to working alongside Dave Shull and the rest of HP team! https://lnkd.in/gk3k8PU4

A few months ago, I made the decision to transition out of the CEO role and onto fabric's Board of Directors. I am excited about this new phase in my life, but it was definitely not an easy decision. The journey at a startup is never a straight line. It is a winding road full of ups and downs, twists and turns, but I have loved every part of it. I’m incredibly proud of everything this team has accomplished and the culture we have built at fabric. Over the past three years, we have built the industry-leading modular commerce platform, and launched several new products including fabric OMS, and fabric Marketplace powering over 50 enterprise brands. The scope of the opportunity to build a transformative, enterprise-grade software platform has never been clearer to me than it is now; and in the spirit of taking a fabric-first approach, as I and everyone at the company always has, it felt like the right time to bring on board a leader with the specific experience in enterprise technology that would be perfectly tailored for this next stage of growth. I know that our amazing team of talented and dedicated employees is committed to our mission and will continue doing great work to realize it. fabric is in good hands with Wesley Pua leading us into our next chapter as interim CEO and I am looking forward to working with Wesley and our leadership team as a Member of the Board to meet and achieve our bold ambitions. It was an honor to serve as CEO at fabric alongside an incredible group of investors and board members Alex Bard Tim Guleri Scott Beechuk Ron Shah Robert Kaplan and Sandra Campos.

Meta knows social media like no other. But do they really understand #socialcommerce? 🛍️

Google and Amazon follow vastly different M&A strategies, but which is better? My thoughts below.. 💸

I’m thrilled to announce fabric has secured another $140M in our Series C funding. I’m incredibly proud of our teammates for this accomplishment. I joined fabric back in August 2020 and at the time we were a fledgling startup. Fast forward 18 months, fabric has grown ~35x in ARR and as a result raised $293M in venture capital to put in a pole-position for headless commerce. 🥳 I want to thank SoftBank Investment Advisers for leading our round with participation from Forerunner Ventures, Glynn Capital and our existing investors Redpoint Ventures, Norwest Venture Partners and Stripes ... None of this would be possible without the right product, team, investors and the confidence of our customers!

Excited to see fabric featured in GeekWire Unicorns to watch in Pacific Northwest! 🚀🙌🏽 https://lnkd.in/dYvybx_f
