Welcome to the team Jeremy and Nipun! Couldn't be more excited for what you're about to bring to the world of procure-tech !
So proud to welcome Nipun Agarwal and Jeremy Kharrazi to the team at LightSource! - Nipun is joining as Director of Customer Success, coming from his previous life for the better part of a decade at McKinsey & Company. Incredibly talented individual -- having worked with Fortune 500 companies across the globe revolutionize their procurement work and technologies, and can't wait to see the kinds of experiences he's already starting to deliver to LightSource customers! - Jeremy is the newest member of our exploding G2M team. Jeremy previously spent many years in the Ed Tech space (and was indeed himself previously a TFA teacher). When I heard about his journey, working with senior superintendents, the complex sales-cycles, under-served (and under-appreciated) customers -- it immediately reminded me of #procurement. Welcome guys! -- There's something very "adult" feeling about having multiple people start on the same day. This never used to happen! The idea of a "LightSource Starting Class" is remarkable and a clear signal of our recent growth. In my previous life at Tesla - I remember we were perpetually understaffed. Indeed, there's something weirdly advantageous about "useful constraints" -- forcing greater levels of innovation and automation.... but there are limits. And we're way past those limits. I'm excited to be working with these two exceptional individuals; that they'd be willing to dedicate valuable years of life to be with us on our team. But more than anything, I'm excited for our customers who will have a truly meaningfully improved experience of working with us at LightSource because of these wonderful people. Thanks again, and welcome Jeremy and Nipun!
