The startup Front hired its first CFO Jenny Decker from Atlassian. CEO Mathilde Collin explains how she put together an inclusive leadership team.
"We want to keep growing, no matter what exits we have,"said."We didn't hire a CFO for a specific outcome. The fact that Jenny has the experience of a company that has grown as fast as Atlassian and become public is interesting to us. We didn't hire her for anything else other than scaling the business.
Decker had worked at Atlassian for nearly six years, seeing Atlassian grow into a $26 billion public company with over 3,000 employees. She says she sees many similarities between Front and Atlassian in terms of culture, as both companies have the mission of helping people work together and collaborate better.
"The values are pretty amazing in terms of world class people and in terms of product," Decker said."I just find Front to be a company that is really exciting to join at this juncture of the company's history. I understand the pain points of all email, and I love that Front is reinventing email and making it painless for knowledge workers."With Decker on board, the leadership team is now half female.
and Decker, the company also counts HR head Ash Alexander and marketing head Keiko Tokudo as part of its top executive team.
