“Leading Eventbrite has taught me a lot about how to connect with people to drive results.”
“There has been an intention since day one that it's as important to us that we build profits as much as we build a wonderful culture and a lasting legacy of a great company. We've created this inclusive environment that's very thoughtful in terms of how we can create allyship, how we create mentorship, and what kind of voices are heard.”
“Our platform is self-service, so we enable people to host events themselves. The biggest events tend to be the free ones. We had 100,000 at a salsa congress in Mexico.”
“My mom always instilled in me that it was braver to ask for help when you need it. That has absolutely stuck with me over the years but became even more important in practice once I became a mother. It may sound trite, but the concept of 'it takes a village' really could not be more true.”
“If you think about stripping away 80 percent of the things that don't matter and focusing on the the 20 percent that will actually make a difference, I think you'll find great results even in the toughest of situations and the harshest of environments.”
“Many tech companies experience steep growth curves that require them to build their teams at breakneck speeds.”
“If you're going to be an entrepreneur, most likely you're going to be Type A - stubborn.”
“Since the earliest days of Eventbrite, we've made our people core to our mission. Our culture is an ever-evolving manifestation of those on our team. As people join, we believe in earning their trust by demonstrating we'll embrace them and help them grow.”
“To force a culture creates something that is inherently not sustainable. It does not evolve forward.”
“I was a dancer and performer.”
“I've done everything from traditional yoga to Bikram yoga to Pilates.”
“I get extremely detail-oriented. In my most stressed-out days, I get way more focused on those details than anyone should be.”
“I think people are intelligent, empathetic, multi-dimensional.”
“At Eventbrite, we value quality results over everything else. So while working late is acknowledged, at the end of the day, I care more about the results you're producing.”
“As founder of Eventbrite, I've interviewed almost every single person we've hired.”
“Co-founders shouldn't excel in the same areas - it's inefficient and will inevitably lead to conflicts down the road.”
“To be a true leader, I needed to better understand my unique strengths and how to apply them across the company as we grew.”
“It's extremely easy to get people to share what events they are going to because events are inherently social.”
“I'm thrilled to share the story of my journey in building Eventbrite and what I've learned along the way as a working mother and entrepreneur.”
“I think a universal feeling that we all share is that live experiences create indelible memories.”
