    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!

    Welcome Paul! Already crazy to think there was a time when you *weren't* at LightSource! 😵💫

    Beyond thrilled to welcome Paul Roberts to the engineering team at LightSource! Brilliant, renaissance man, engineering tour-de-force, artist... these are all words that come to mind when I think about Paul. -- I remember even just 2 short years ago, the idea of recruiting Google Staff Engineer was comical. They would never join a startup? But fast forward, LightSource is a growth-stage company, with Fortune 500 customers, and top flight investors... but that's not what brings great people to the team. The #1 determining factor that candidates consider when looking at new roles is the people -- the team; the folks they'll be working (grinding) with on a daily basis. With each chapter of hiring, the caliber of LightSource just seems to get better and better. @Paul: I am so honored to have you on the team. And cannot be more excited for our *customers* who will benefit from the innovations you'll launch. (fun fact below as usual). This man truly has software in his DNA!

    (No this isn't a joke). LightSource is the first procurement platform available on Apple Vision Pro! 🥇 The video below was actually screen-recorded from one of the devices earlier this summer. Would you consider Sourcing in VR? -- The story here, is we brought an An Apple Vision Pro to our sponsor booth at the Institute for Supply Management World Conference in 2024. To create a lil' buzz we had a live version of LightSource available through the headset. We'll see where this technology goes long-term. Maybe it replaces the desktop screens for our daily work, or maybe it's just a fad that fades away. Regardless, it was fun seeing everyone get their first exposure to #AR/VR through our platform... And I'm proud to claim that the World's First RFQ in VR was run through LightSource!

    Did you ride a school bus growing up? 🚌 Chances are, it was built by our incredible customer, Blue Bird Corporation! We had a great time visiting Blue Bird Country in Georgia to implement LightSource and see firsthand the innovation driving their operations. It’s always inspiring to collaborate with a company that has such a rich history and continues to lead the industry. Looking forward to our ongoing partnership and the exciting road ahead!
