Our 🇺🇸 team is growing fast!
Meet Brian Vu, Bay Area native, who joins us as a Solutions Engineer.
Brian makes sure the engineers using Lago have the support they need and acts as a Liaison between our Product and GTM teams.
His journey is quite unique.
Some people start their career as engineers, and then transition to the "business side of things", Brian did the opposite. How is that possible?
He started in Customer Success at Freshworks and Mighty Networks, where, among other things, he dealt with "billing nightmares".
Indeed, billing is still the #1 source of Customer Success questions today (upgrades/downgrades, proration, VAT, anyone? :) ).
During the pandemic, he learned to code by himself ("I didn't need to commute anymore, I've put this extra time to good use!"), and enrolled Circle CI tech team for 2.5 years after that.
I loved this fact during our interviews (among other things): I personally spent a lot of time reading and baking during the pandemic 😆 🥖.
3 fun facts about Brian:
- He loves restoring classic Japanese sports cars
- He is currently obsessed with composting
- He is raising 4 baby hens, and makes his own yoghurts
Welcome Brian!
