WORK HISTORY
Ecosystem Developer, Emea & Global Emerging Markets at Twilio Startups @Twilio
The Twilio Startups Program cultivates relationships and nurture startups to be the next WhatsApp, Airbnb, Amazon and Uber by leveraging Twilio expertise at strategic communications and customer engagement to train, support, and promote startups who are using Twilio rather than direct investment. To date, Twilio has partnered with accelerators, incubators, and early stage VC funds to fund (via credits), advise, and support companies in these programs as they design and develop their communications workflows. More than 5K+ companies have requested credits since the program’s inception in 2015. Startups have historically been the source of Twilio’s most innovative and fastest growing customers and continue to build Twilio’s credibility as the communications provider of choice for innovators and disruptors. Some of Twilio’s largest and most successful customers (Uber, Lyft, Doordash, Airbnb Thumbtack, etc) have grown with the company. The Developer Network team cultivates a passionate developer community, and equips the next generation of developers with Twilio in their toolkit. The program has been positively received by Twilio’s startup ecosystem partners - the accelerators, incubators, and early stage venture funds. However, there remains additional opportunities to grow the number of organisations Twilio for Startups partners with, as well as deepen the relationships we have with these organisations, to provide additional support to the startups within their portfolio.
