Are you a reluctant CEO? Telling yourself you're not CEO material? What if the story you've been telling yourself is the only thing holding you back from stepping into a powerful new chapter? Christine Spang never set out to become a CEO. As the co-founder and longtime CTO of Nylas, she spent over a decade in the trenches—coding, building, and deeply involved in the work on the ground. But when the time came to lead the company, she said yes... even though she didn't think she fit the mold. In this raw, insightful episode, Christine shares what it really looks like to evolve from hands-on engineer to strategic CEO. We explore the emotional weight of leadership, embracing your unique leadership style, and learning to lead in ambiguity. If you've ever felt like you're not the “right kind” of leader, Christine's journey will challenge and inspire you. "You don't have to be a CEO that looks like X. The company will change around you." — Christine Spang What You'll Learn in This Episode: How to lead when you don't see yourself as a CEO The emotional shift from CTO to CEO Why technical expertise isn't enough—and what to develop instead How introverted leaders can thrive without becoming someone they're not The role of coaching and hobbies (like rock climbing!) in building resilience How to find clarity in the chaos of leadership Advice for aspiring leaders who feel like they're “winging it” Want to go deeper?

In this episode of B2B Marketing: The Provocative Truth, Benedict speaks to Matthew Harper about redefining the role of the CMO.Not only is the role of the CMO not understood by the rest of the business, the CMOs themselves sometimes hardly know how to be effective leaders for their company. This has led to the CMO having the shortest tenure of any role in the C-suite. But it doesn't have to be like this. What it means to be an effective CMO has changed, and it's within reach of CMOs to excel at their role, but this does require reevaluating what are the priorities and what relationships with the rest of the business need to look like.Matthew Harper is a dynamic, results-driven senior marketing professional with 20 years of experience across the international technology industry. Primarily, Matt has worked in enterprise SaaS, developer tools, AI platforms, and more.

Changing jobs and companies is tough. Most of the time, we jump from one right into the other with barely a break. Mallory Lee wanted to change that, so during her interviews, she asked to take a mini-sabbatical between roles- and the companies agreed.She is now the VP of Operations at Nylas, which means she also moved into a completely different type of business. She needed to learn a new customer persona and market, not to mention adjust to working across multiple time zones (she had mostly been working only in the US Eastern Time Zone).Find out how she has transitioned and what she learned during her sabbatical.Follow Winding Road Careers: Website: https://www.windingroadcareers.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/windingroadcareers/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/winding-road-careers/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thewindingrd Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/windingroadcareers

Christine Span, founder & CTO of Nylas, has evolved over the last decade growing her software company which is essentially like "the plumbing for the internet" connecting code. She talks about how the highs are super high and the lows are super low but that foundation at MIT prepared her for the mental fortitude that she was going to need to lead her team on this journey. "Leadership is work and you have to work at leadership," is a lesson that she learned along the way.  Along the way, she's discovered the power of yoga and rock climbing to challenge her mind as well as calm it.

Welcome to the Woman in Tech Series from the Global Tech Leaders Podcast. Today we are speaking to Christine Spang who is the co-founder and Chief Technical Officer at Nylas. She has had an illustrious career in the corporate world and comes from a development background, she attended MIT and grew out from there creating products. We kick off by asking Christine what drove her to get into becoming a developer, its underserved by women, and what sparked her interest to choose this journey. Born in Canada and her folks were Norweighen immigrants. Her grandmother had a mini farm, where they would farm and build things. She remembers helping her folks build a barn on her grandparent's farm. She was really good at Math at school and moved up north really young. She was into music at her public school and played the french horn and was in the marching band. Always loved reading and got lost in books, her Dad would blast Oprah music. Grew up in the suburbs, there wasn't much to do, so games and books allowed her to explore. That led her to online text-based games and story building. Then she started learning about programming and discovered the world of open-source. Which blew her mind. Came across a blog, joined this group and became obsessed with open source which led to her attending MIT. That's when she knew she wanted to be a software engineer. We then ask Christine, why she thinks there is such a gap in developers in today's society with our demands and which subjects would she advise those who feel a fit for this. Cultivating a mindset of curiosity and questioning things. People should aspire to create an environment where people can choose to get into something without barriers. We need the builders of modern software to represent people all over the world. Try and treat people the same, and support the curiosity of little girls and little boys. Next, we ask Christine if she has experienced bias in her career and if so, what is the one thing she would change? She has trained her mind to believe everyone has good intentions. She has personally been lucky or oblivious to it, if not it drives positive feelings away from herself. We asked Christine to share a positive experience from her career so far. Especially when starting a company, the modern world is all about standing out and being memorable. Over and over again, people remember her because she stood out and was memorable. As a female technical founder, it's easier to bring more women in. We asked Christine to tell us more about Nylas and what they do and what is the purpose. She has been working on this for 9 years and started with 2 people. Now 250 people. Nylas is an API platform company that is focused on communications data and helps people make use of that data and structure it. APIs are leveraged. The core concept is, saving people time. Code literacy is a trend right now. Building a new code native generation. Then we ask Christine, what kind of questions does she ask to prioritize tech projects? Revenue impact is a valid consideration. Pick a focus and define what success looks like. Thinking about performance and scalability. Regarding the 4-degree aspect spoke about earlier, how do we shift the bias and how do you deal with someone who takes a 1-year course? Focus on interviews that simulate what people will actually be working on. You have no reputation or/and no money so harder to be convincing. Lastly, we ask Christine how does she manage her time? She has an Executive Assistant --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gloabl-tech-leaders/message

Christine Spang, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Nylas Christine and her cofounders had to pivot before Nylas became what it is today.

Finally, Christine outlines how to level up your career fast at a startup. https://bit.ly/blindpodcast

According to Christine Spang, she is secretly Canadian, being born in Toronto. She moved to Upstate New York when she was 3, and grew up there. She came from a family of engineers and entrepreneurs. After getting into an RPG game based on Lord of the Rings, she had to learn to code, run linux, and fell in love with software. In High School, she was a band geek, and was super into fantasy reading. These days she tends to focus more on hobbies that get her out and moving in the world, specifically rock climbing and plants.Christine was working for a startup that ended up being sold to Oracle. At that point, she was considering what was next for her. The timing was fortuitous, as her friend from MIT was starting up something around extracting information from email.This is the creation story of Nylas.SponsorsImmediateOrbitPostmarkStytchVerb DataWebapp.ioLinksWebsite: https://www.nylas.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinespang/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode of Breaking Changes, Postman Chief Evangelist Kin Lane welcomes Gleb Polyakov, Co-founder and CEO of Nylas, to discuss how the company is focused on making the world more productive as working from home becomes more dominant.

In this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, Springworks' Product Manager, Nisarg Shah talks to Ryan Gormley, Head of People at Nylas - a productivity infrastructure for modern software. Ryan strongly believes in diversity and loves to innovate. His previous stints include working for organizations like Slack, Symantec and Earnin.Ryan shares a few of his experiences and ideas on keeping up with the forced transformation in training and managing remote teams, implementing work-life balance within the workspace, and rethinking HR policies. He also highlights some effective ways that he used to engage the team at Nylas in the remote work environment.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:Impact of the pandemic on the way of work:Ryan is a strong proponent of employee freedom and autonomy . When people are more comfortable working from home, forcefully calling them in the office is micromanaging. Before having a workspace, an organization needs to know about the intent behind it.He feels that a hybrid workplace will provide better performance by offering better talent from every corner of the world. For high performing teams, hybrid work is necessary. As long as the work is getting done, people should have the freedom to arrange their day's schedule. This calls for a more output-focused mindset. He explains that there is a difference between work and office.You can have a smaller workspace for the office people to interact.Giving the employees the freedom and responsibility of structuring their routine is going to retain them. For this purpose, an organization needs to have the value of trust.Shift in the compensation policies:There is going to be a real shift in the compensation policies of different companies. Ryan talks about companies like Microsoft, Twitter, and his company where they choose to give their people the option and the choice. This will pave the way towards better employee retention. According to him, people are craving for more flexibility. Many talents might leave their organizations if the hybrid model is changed. Compensation takes time to shift. It is important to understand that compensation is not the cost of living, but the cost of labour. It is the market rate for the job you do and the location you do it in. There might be a shortage of jobs in a location. But if there is a high demand for the skill set, the pay will increase based on that supply and demand curve. Ryan personally takes the time to explain compensation to the employees. They attempt to bring equality in terms of compensation. Organizations should inform the employees in higher pay scales when they will not be receiving a raise for a specific time period. Transparency makes these tasks seamless.Advice to young HR professionals:Ryan gives a valuable piece of advice to the young HR professionals. It does not matter where you come from or which school you went to, if you work hard, you will definitely achieve success. Moreover, be hungry to learn and grow. If you are working in a startup, make yourself comfortable with the ambiguities that will accompany it. You have to be motivated and passionate about working in a startup.Ryan mentions that he is a lover of travelling. He is grateful to have travelled different parts  of the world, tried different cuisines, and learned different cultures and languages.Follow Ryan Gormley on LinkedInProduced by: Priya BhattPodcast host: Nisarg ShahBONUS: Managing remote teams is not an easy task.

Several actions proved key as Waifa Chau advanced from financial planning and analysis (FP&A) roles to chief financial officer positions. Collaborating with other functions, gaining an in-depth understanding of the overall business, and helping his colleagues understand how FP&A benefits an organization have driven his success, says Chau, currently CFO with Nylas, Inc., a provider of productivity infrastructure solutions for software.  Cross-functional collaboration helps in gaining an understanding of a company's overall business, Chau says. While working at Gap Inc., the company behind Gap, Banana Republic, and other apparel brands, Chau focused on driving higher gross margins—key in the retail industry. Chau's curiosity about the business also helped him propel his career forward, he says. He spent about two years in a merchandising role at Gap, during which he gained a better understanding of the intricacies of operations. Often, employees in other parts of an organization assume FP&A's primary role is to tell them when they're over or under budget, Chau says. He tried to show how a strong FP&A partner tries to understand their performance so the business can better prepare for the future. After about seven years at Gap, Inc., Chau moved to an FP&A role at Walmart.com. In an ecommerce organization, there were “different levers to pull,” he says. For instance, along with analyzing gross margins, he reviewed margins on grocery delivery apps. Building on his success in FP&A, Chau set a new goal: establishing a finance team from the ground up. He joined BirdEye, a marketing platform, as vice president, finance, and advanced to CFO. Among other accomplishments, he structured the accounting and FP&A functions and determined how finance would interact with other functions. At Nylas, Chau again is leveraging his experience to propel himself forward and establish the finance function, this time for a slightly younger and small company.

You’ll rarely hear anyone say that you’re over-communicating. But what you will hear is that with the influx of communication platforms, especially when it comes to messaging and email services, there are more ways to communicate than ever before, and that causes some trickle-down effects. With so much data and messages coming and going through a system, and emails clogging out your in an outbox, finding a way to sift through each of those messages, decipher it, and identify what is meaningful is becoming increasingly more difficult.“Email has over 3 billion active users today and is rapidly growing, It will be over five and a half billion by 2025. That intuitively makes sense. Everyone with a smartphone has an email address, everyone with internet access at all, has an email address. And it's this repository of not only all your personal activity, but it's absolutely the database of how you run your business and do a lot of interaction from there across your calendar, across your address book, across your email, it handles a lot of information going in and out of it as a natural jumping-off point.” Gleb Polyakov is the CEO and co-founder of Nylas, where he leads strategy, operations and product innovation for the company’s communication API platform. On this episode of IT Visionaries, Gleb details how he led Nylas through a pivot moment three years ago when the product shifted from a consumer-facing software to a backend API. Plus, Gleb details how your first idea is never your best one.Main TakeawaysIf It’s Not Right, Fix It: Even if you have a company that is showing signs of growth and the metrics are positive but the peripheral numbers are not saying what you think they should be saying, don’t be scared to pivot and head in a different direction. The first idea for any company is not always going to be the most successful one. Keep iterating and keep building to find out what works best for your company.An Unstructured Mess: Finding a way to sort through data when it comes to communication platforms remains one of the most challenging and reliable obstacles for developers. The reason? Understanding how to decipher emails and text messages, and understanding various forms of language is difficult to pick apart.A Tipping Point: The communication sector remains at a tipping point. As more and more software services provide chat and messaging services, finding a way to properly decipher and break down the data in those messages is growing in importance with few providers that can properly and reliably source that data.IT Visionaries is brought to you by the Salesforce Platform - the #1 cloud platform for digital transformation of every experience.

Jackie Luo is a software engineer at Nylas, a startup that is working on building the future of email. She is also currently taking some time off from her studies at Columbia and is going back to finish her degree in the spring. In this episode, we discuss what working at a very small startup is like, how she got into programming after starting in her second year of college, what it's like to take time of from, and much more.

Jackie Luo is a Software Engineer at Nylas and Student at Columbia University. In this episode I talked to Jackie about how she, with little experience and exposure to coding, took on the challenge of writing code frequently, committing to github daily. We talked about the types of projects she worked on and what she learned with each experience, and also about putting school on hold, as she took a leave from Columbia to start a full-time Software Engineering role in the bay area. Jackie is a very driven person, and I learned a lot from talking to her and I hope you will too.

An obsession with email tools and a desire to escape the East Coast winter were the initial driving forces behind MIT Engineer Michael Grinich’s startup Nylas. After moving west to help out a friend turned into working at Dropbox and Nest he, in 2014, faced the decision between working for another startup darling or venturing out on his own. He scratched the itch that never left him, email, and set out on his own path. Nylas is built on the idea that email can become the “database of your life” and that we already use email so much, we should find a way to build a better platform, no matter how many startups want to kill it. Using open-source tooling, Nylas allows developers to build an unlimited amount of new features on the platform, and it’s taken off within the developer community; they’ve reached 20,000 stars on GitHub, ranking them 74th across GitHub’s 3.4 million projects.
