Postmates
It was 2012, pre-Series A, and a group of less than 15 people building the first on-demand food delivery platform. As the Postmates first launcher, I went to new markets with no playbook in hand, solo, and figured it out. I built Postmates from the ground-up in Seattle, New York, and DC. I did everything from onboard couriers, to work on cool partnership initiatives with local merchants to drive growth, to relay feedback to product & engineering to enhance the user experience.
After leaving Postmates to work on my own company, Auster, and to lead growth operations at Glamsquad, I rejoined Postmates about a year later to spearhead their retail & brand partnerships, and launch, grow, and scale new categories, like alcohol & grocery. I truly get marketplaces and how complicated they are. If you’re building a marketplace, we should chat.
