🚀 Reflecting on an incredible journey at Sift! 🚀 After four and a half amazing years at Sift, I am embarking on a new journey to explore new domains. As I reflect on my time here, I am filled with immense pride for what we have achieved together. When I joined Sift, I was stepping into uncharted territory without prior experience in the fraud prevention space. I am deeply grateful to our founder, Jason Tan, and former CEO, Marc Olesen, for believing in me and giving me this incredible opportunity. Their vision and leadership had been truly inspiring. Together, we have accomplished so much: Scaling Engineering: We have more than doubled the size of our engineering team, bringing in diverse talent and fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration. We now process over a trillion events per year, providing unparalleled insights and enhancing our fraud detection capabilities. Industry Leading Innovations: Introducing innovations such as RiskWatch and Cohort ML Models has set new industry standards, demonstrating our ability to stay ahead of the curve. We have built a robust patent portfolio with over 40 patents, showcasing our commitment to leading-edge ML/AI innovation. R&D Center in Ukraine: We set up a new R&D center in Ukraine during the challenging times of Covid, scaling it from 0 to 50+ brilliant minds. New Markets: Breaking into the iGaming and Gambling industry and becoming the #1 provider in this segment has been a remarkable achievement and a testament to our adaptability and dedication. Strategic Acquisition: Acquiring and integrating Chargeback.com into our dispute management solution has allowed us to provide comprehensive fraud coverage, both pre and post transaction, strengthening our market position. These accomplishments are a testament to the incredible team at Sift. Thank you to everyone for your dedication, support, and collaboration. I am proud of what we’ve built together and excited to see Sift continue to soar to new heights. Here’s to new beginnings and continued success for Sift!
