Five years ago, I gushed about a job I was interviewing for on my first date with the man I would later marry. It was for a demand generation role at Klaviyo, a startup that was in hyper-growth mode and just building out its performance marketing function. With every conversation I had, I knew the team was building something massive, and I needed to be a part of it. Flash forward to our IPO, an experience I got to share with some of my closest colleagues whose unrelenting talent, drive, and kindness inspire me to keep bettering my best every day. I’m not often at a loss for words but getting to walk Wall Street, see our signage, and cheer as that bell rang out was an honor. A once-in-a-lifetime event. Thank you to all my fellow Klaviyos (past and present) who’ve been a part of this wild ride. And a special thank you to: 1. Agata Celmerowski, who took a chance and hired me (even after or maybe because? I stood up and delivered a closing argument like some kind of TV lawyer). 2. Joseph M. McCarthy, who molded my career and challenged me to embrace the Khaos when we were a lean team tasked with driving demand for a brand people hadn’t heard of. 3. Thuan Tran (no doubt cringing at the length of this), for helping me do what most marketers are terrible at: marketing themselves. 4. Margot de la Peña who’s always given me a safe space to grow through vulnerability, all while championing higher standards and empowering me to achieve them. All business is personal. It’s a joy working for a company that embodies that and helps so many businesses deliver that at scale. And we’re just getting started.
