Gary Little has been President & CEO at Foursquare for nearly 6 years, and has led the company through an incredibly significant transformation. He eliminated the Product function, flattened the Engineering org, removed all engineering managers, and got rid of reviews across the board. In doing so, he streamlined the business, accelerated product development, and executed a highly successful pivot from being primarily a consumer app business to generating over $100M/year in revenue from Foursquare's Enterprise Geospatial Data platform.
In this members-only talk, Gary will share:
- An inside look at their decision-making process
- The key tactical steps involved in executing this pivot
- What went well and what the most challenging parts were
- What he'd do differently if he were doing it over again
- How he kept the remaining team members motivated and excited
- Big picture lessons for leaders considering a big pivot
- And much more...
Plus we'll have plenty of time for Q&A.
