• Build the feedback loop between early customers and the product team — structured, fast, actionable

Capital

Who You Are

• Your friends describe you as the person who always has a plan
• You get unreasonably excited about a well-structured agenda
• You have strong opinions about how things should run. You are usually right.
• No job description has ever fully described your job. You liked it that way.
• You are a closer.
• You are motivated by ownership and mission — you are tired of making someone else’s vision look good in a deck
• You hold yourself to a standard most people find uncomfortable. High ambition, high execution, and high accountability.
