Next steps

Over the last 10 months I’ve been working 3 days a week at Xero helping out with product strategy and developing internal processes as we’ve grown quickly.

One of the things I’ve focused on is establishing a measurement culture and making sure we’re making product decisions for the right reasons. It’s great to see these things starting to happen.

I’ve enjoyed being able to help shape a new company as it moves from startup to becoming established in the market.

But, now it’s time for something different …

Next week I’m in the US for ETech. I’ve kept the week after that free, so hopefully I’ll meet some interesting people over there who will help me fill those days. If you’re going to be there please feel free to drop me an email.

After that I’m planning to spread my time around a few different things, including working with some of the other companies I’ve invested in. I’ll look forward to writing some more about those here over the next few months.

So, exciting times!
