What it’s like building a board of directors for a successful tech company

It’s lonely at the top. Or at least it can be. As a first-time CEO the biggest adjustment for me is knowing that I’m now where the buck stops. I’ve held other C-suite roles before this in which I’ve advised, made recommendations, but there was always someone else making the final call. Now that’s on me.

Yet no CEO is really alone. That’s where the board comes in. Due to the pandemic, this month I will meet my board of directors in person for th

I thought it would have been a cold day in you know where before I’d switch away from Google Chrome. But I’ve been delightedly using Microsoft Edge as my main web browser for more than a year now. It’s fast like Chrome—it should be, since it leverages Chrome technology under the hood—but there are just a few bell

Try this hack for being present even when you need to check your phone

A cloaking device is a technology that makes your spaceship invisible to others. It’s a must-have for any modern sci-fi hero. But not even the Klingons or the Romulans had a two-way cloaking device. Many of us do—it’s our phone. When we feel that little “ZZZT!!” of a notification and pick it up, our sentient self becomes instantly invisible. Fascinatingly, the effect is two-way.
