Post by rh06022005 »

MOHAMED: I'll say the first one is to really, know your people, know your team and also make sure that you have the right people. The right people in the right place. This is the most important lesson. You start a company, you don't have enough resources to make properly inter human research, like interviews and so on. And, that was my lesson. I'm very happy new zealand number for whatsapp that we built a real seat, you know, like a founder team, I can say. Not only having a CEO, founder CEO, and with a detached team. So we are now a founder team, and I'm very proud of my team that we have reached this level because of them, and that's what I always say. Every single member is important. So we are all like running in the same direction and we really, yeah. We really need to be aligned and... yeah.

CAROLINE: The team is everything. And, you know, it sounds cliché because everybody says it, but it's actually really hard to spend the time to, like you said, to spend the time.

And sometimes it's hard to be patient enough, but, it's life-changing, it really makes the, it makes a world of a difference to have the right people on your team.

We are having fun, especially, we face the pandemic, the remote work. I mean, for me, it's very clear that we have to be flexible and then now we want to have a hybrid formula, we believe that onsite work is also important and having everyone, I'll say opinion in person is very, is very important. As we are also designing the product, we're thinking together how, yeah. How could we improve ourselves, improve our processes and, how could we improve ourselves.

CAROLINE: Yeah. All right. What a moment. Thank you so much for spending the time today and sharing your story. That was great. I really appreciate it. And I think our listener will love it too.
