Context

Suzanna was my first manager at Wefunder. She worked closely with me as we navigated a hiring sprint. She was also my manager across other roles. Later on she became a mentor of sorts helping me think through my career options.

Reference

"I've never seen someone accelerate into a role like you did when we did our hiring sprint. You probably still hold the crown for number of cold email sent to engineers during that period - whatever you did I have still not been able to figure out and it was amazing."

Areas where Josh excels as noted by the reference:

"You have an incredible "get shit done" attitude - it's why we hired you in the first place! You will roll your sleeves up and make things happen. That's invaluable in early stage startups."

Areas where Josh can improve as noted by the reference:

"I think you can get pessimistic when something isn't working. Sometimes startups is just about believing for a while until you will your belief into reality :)"

Additional Notes

"You're the best! Happy to be a reference on this job."
