ICYMI: Greylock Executive Talent Partner Holly Rose Faith shares 8 key areas that founders should be ready to address during an executive recruiting process to prevent misalignment in expectations 👇
How can you be sure that an executive is the right fit for your company? One of the key reasons why executive hires do not work out at startups is misalignment in expectations. I have worked with countless startups to help founders build their executive teams. In this week's Greylock newsletter, I shared how executives and founders can make sure they are aligned and set up for long-term partnership. Outside of the specific process founders are running to evaluate an executive if they can do the job, it's important to incorporate the eight key areas below to avoid downstream fit issues between founders and execs.

In just five years, Abnormal Security co-founders Evan Reiser and Sanjay Jeyakumar have gone from jargon-challenged outsiders to leaders of one of the most influential and fastest-growing companies in the more than $200 billion security industry. Their secret was a willingness to try something radically different. Abnormal chose to focus on the biggest vulnerability companies face, and the reason most security leaders invest in those mandatory, ineffective anti-phishing training courses: human behavior itself. The approach of securing human behavior may sound simple, but the technology to make it work is anything but. As one of the first security companies built with AI from the very beginning, the Abnormal platform works by understanding each and every employee’s normal patterns of behavior so that it can spot even tiny anomalies. By ingesting 43,000+ behavioral signals, Abnormal’s platform monitors these and other, far subtler signals of malicious activity to stop attackers before threats can hit the inbox. Today, with annual recurring revenue north of $200 million, more than 800 employees globally, and more than 2,400 customers - including 17% of the Fortune 500, Abnormal is one of the fastest growing private cybersecurity companies. Yet Evan believes, “We have so much left to do to help protect our customers and prove that AI is so much more than hype. For me, one thing is certain: the best from Abnormal is still to come.” #cybersecurity #AI #Artificialintelligence https://bit.ly/3WzHEYV
