Make others successful

Understand what others need to be successful, and help them as much as possible. That also means admitting my experience and skills are not a good fit. Sometimes it means postponing your immediate priorities to help someone else. The relationships we build will always be more valuable than the immediate material gains.

Hi, I'm Glenn! 👋 I've spent most of my career working with or at startups. I'm currently the Director of Product @ Ockam where I'm helping developers build applications and systems that are secure-by-design. It's time we started securely connecting apps, not networks.

Previously I led the Terraform product team @ HashiCorp, where we launched Terraform Cloud and set the stage for a successful IPO. Prior to that I was part of the Startup Team @ AWS, and earlier still an early employee @ Heroku. I've also invested in a couple of dozen early stage startups.
