So that is what I’m doing.

Last fall, I changed roles at SalesLoft. Again.
I have been involved in a variety of business areas here (perks of being early to a fast-growing company), and while job changes do ping my OCD pretty heavily, the chance to take on something new and help define it is too good of a challenge to ignore.

Yeah, Lucy, I feel you. ^ Definitely me, the last few months. Minus that glorious amount of chocolate. Maybe that would have helped.
"Okay, but ... where have you been? Are you still blogging? What have you been doing???"
