The question is, do you make the same mistakes over and over again or are they learning opportunities?

Up to this point, from a product standpoint, we've talked about data ingestion and workflows and things like that. What really gets me excited about this space is this idea of really building this intelligent layer to calibrate access. We now have pretty good self-driving technology, right? And it's wild if you stop and think about it.

We have cars that drive themselves and they're able to navigate these incredibly complex environments and respond in real time to them. And a huge amount of that is a result of the fact that LIDAR technology allowed us to capture a ton of information and actually start to figure out how to model all kinds of heterogeneous environments.

I think there's something similar that happens in access and identity, that if you can really nail the ability to create a ton of context and data, then you can actually start to build out the automation layer for real, basically. I think that's like a very unique opportunity. It's something like I feel like technologically is where the industry is headed to.

If you follow like anything that's happening in the big AI companies, there's a lot of discourse around security and specifically access management and how you calibrate that and how that grows flexibly and how you feel like you actually understand what's going on. I'm excited to see this industry take that leap in that direction.

It's just it's been so primitive right now from a technical perspective that there's just a ton of foundation you have to lay down.

My first team, like the leadership team, does influence a lot of the way that I work. I really enjoy working with whether it's my sales leader, marketing leader, engineering leader, and then really seeing how they bring their own leadership styles and manage their teams.

I also, I think, look up to certain like industry founders that I think were willing to do like the hard work, like really roll up their sleeves and figure things out. I'm a big fan of Databricks as an organization. I think they had like kind of an interesting early journey. And there's a lot of similarities. They had a very technical team and then they had to figure out how to build a business.
