If I have been quiet for the last while, it has because I have been taking the first meaningful break since wrapping at Hootsuite at the end of Q1. Last break was recovering from surgery in 2018. Thank you COVID == no break for 3 years. My next adventure starts soon, but I wanted to thank Ryan Holmes for granting me this opportunity; the Hootsuite executive team (both generations); all of the colleagues and customers I've interacted with over the last 3 years; and most importantly - the most *amazing* team I have ever had the privilege of leading. I will look at my time here as some of the most meaningful of my career! Thanks for all the fish! #hootsuitelife

RD! We never met in person but I admired your leadership during my time at Hootsuite. Your kindness, expertise, and ability to earn people's trust had the whole team rallying behind you. It was truly unique and I'm lucky I got to witness it. Good luck on your next journey!

I remember when you started at Hootsuite and what a breath of fresh air you were. I recall feeling so excited about the future and what I was selling. Wherever you land, they are lucky to have you. I was just a humble account manager but your candidness, realness and truth really resonated with me. All the best to you!

Good luck on the next thing (which I am sure will be excellent) - but I do hope you take some time off to recover. You've earned it!
