Bias towards action–You move fast, make calls with limited data, and fix things in real time
Strong operator with startup experience–you've seen how great organizations operate and can execute at that level
High ownership–you own outcomes, not just tasks, and feel it personally when something doesn't ship
Bias towards action and urgency–you have a visceral sense of discomfort when the ball sits in your court too long
Highly autonomous–you make most decisions yourself, don't wait for permission, and move fast
Set the tempo–you establish cadence and pace internally/externally and make sure things happen on time
Extremely organized–you maintain context across many simultaneous projects without dropping balls
Comfortable with ambiguity–you don't need a playbook, you write it and figure out what needs to happen
