hey frens, very sad to share that i was affected by the recent 14% layoffs at @coinbase.
i’m leaving alongside incredibly talented colleagues who i've spent nearly everyday building with. we became a family through all the blood, sweat, and tears of everything we tackled together.
i joined @base right at the beginning of mainnet launch in august 2023.
during this time, i drove the growth of our community platforms, scaling our discord, reddit, x spaces, and livestreams to build deep user engagement.
but i was much more than just a community guy. as my past manager @wbnns put it, our small team operated like spec ops, wearing many hats and tackling complex issues as they surfaced. i managed cross-functional operations, nurtured key external partnerships, uplifted team members, and optimized processes by finding gaps and building seamless workflows.
i have grown exponentially during my time here. this hurts, as i truly hoped to stay at coinbase for the rest of my career, but i gave it my all and am walking away profoundly grateful for this chapter.
thank you to the leaders who guided me, the amazing team that supported me, and the passionate community members i've had the honor of connecting with.
i am now actively seeking my next opportunity. if your team needs a versatile operator who specializes in community growth, cross-functional operations, and bridging gaps to make teams run flawlessly, i would love to connect.
dms are open :).
When you get laid off, you must do everything in your power to touch grass and decompress with your ex-colleagues
Simon and I both birdied this by the way
.@svmvn literally onboarded every single person on the growth team at Base. He's the operator who made our team function. Community, ops, and everything in between.
Whoever hires him next is getting a unicorn
@ZacPrater@base@coinbase you made a huge impact both before and after officially joining base. it was an honor working with you every day to support and empower the community. looking forward to seeing what’s next for you!
@jconnorholliman@coinbase will miss building alongside you fren. whoever scoops you up next is getting an absolute powerhouse. we'll definitely cross paths again soon.
