I was curious about moving up the engineering management ladder eventually, but I assumed a VP opportunity would be out of reach for a long time, if ever. My knowledge of our domain and enthusiasm for these tools can be useful to my colleagues and be a source of energy when we otherwise might get discouraged.

Our existing deploy tooling and engineering culture made the transition to remote work go much more smoothly. Though our deploy velocity remained the same, the engineering org has been far from stagnant. In Q1 we promoted Emily Nakashima to VP of Engineering , and we hired two more engineering managers in Q4.
