Favor to ask please:
I’m hiring a Founding CEO for a new and very different type of tech media company. I will be funding and incubating it, but have my hands full with @intercom so can’t run it.
I’d love your help finding this person.
This is an extremely ambitious project with a killer founding team. We just need the person to drive it.
This person will…
- Have experience as a leader and people manager in a fast growing company
- Have some sort experience with communications and content production, and working with creatives
- Love tech, be excited about the future
- Be in or willing to move to the Bay Area
DMs are open for anyone interested in learning more.
RTs or any kind of shares would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading :)
