As I wrap my first week at Skai I can confidently say that I am 10x more excited than when I began; not that I wasn't excited, but you never know what lies on the other side.
I just reconnected with a former colleague and she asked me whether she should pursue conversations from recruiters and other orgs that have been reaching out. I told her you can't know, but there's beauty and excitement in the not knowing. (Nataly Kogan loves to say that if the thing is at the intersection of scary and exciting then you're on the right track and you should follow the pull.)
For me, this Skai role was exactly that, and despite having met 10+ folks before I started, you really only learn about an org from the inside.
What I have found is an incredible company filled with energized humans - there is a kindness to everyone, a desire to learn and grow and experiment, a full-on embrace of AI, and a genuine willingness to help, especially as I am new to the team.
I posted an ask in slack, and a colleague saw this, set up time w me proactively to explain the thing I asked about - no questions asked, he just did it. Sounds like a seemingly small gesture, but it speaks volumes about the culture. Another colleague called me this morning just to check in and see how my first week has been.
And for sure this kindness and humility flow through into how we service and sell to our customers, and they feel it. So I am definitely looking forward to week two!
