Also, we’d love you to have been part of a journey similar to ours. Maybe you have spent time in start-up environments, growing from a small founding team to bigger geographically disparate teams. If you’ve worked on a similar product, i.e. a web-based platform or other web-based solutions, that wouldn’t hurt either.
