BreakLine Education

When we asked John what excited him about Datadog, he said its “top-tier products that set and push the industry standard” and “culture of really caring about its people.” We couldn’t be more thrilled for you, John L. Peterson— go crush it!

Kudos to Michael Smith for his ongoing success at Elastic! Keep up the fantastic work!

“Skills from different areas of life can be relevant and valuable in your next career. The knowledge I gained throughout my studies, career, and extracurriculars all contribute to my effectiveness as a product manager today. I feel grateful to have found a position at Highwire that plays to my strengths, passions, and experience.” We’re so excited for you in your new role as a Product Manager at Highwire, Elizabeth! Congrats!

“A leader should enable their team. Take the blame when things go wrong, and give credit to others when things go right.” I’m so thrilled to share BreakLine’s fireside chat with Josh Araujo, CEO of Forterra. His team, among the earliest innovators in the field, is revolutionizing the defense sector with autonomous vehicle systems while supporting and protecting soldiers and civilians on the front line.  Josh delves into his unique journey from the Marines to Wall Street and to leading Forterra, plus the importance of building and maintaining your relationships along the way. He highlights his core leadership principles and the significance of staying close to the operational level to understand the business and empower teams. Josh ends by sharing his goals and plans to scale Forterra. Josh - it was such a pleasure having the chance to have this conversation live, and we can’t wait to share it with more members of our community! BreakLiners who attended called you “genuine and down-to-earth” and said your comments and perspective are “exactly what aspiring and current leaders need to hear.” We couldn’t agree more— thank you so much for spending your time with us! https://lnkd.in/gg36v99c

Huge shoutout to William Duggan, PMP for continuing to crush it at Ubisense— no surprise you've been recognized for your amazing work!

There’s nothing like spending time in-person with your teammates! As a fully-remote company, we’re always grateful for the opportunity to come together and celebrate each other and our community. Most of our team was able to meet up in Denver this week to say “Aloha” to summer and the second half of the year— our goals are audacious but together, we’re unstoppable!

“Don't be afraid to pivot into the unknown when you feel like you're no longer being challenged. Do all you can to continue growing, and you will surprise yourself with what you can achieve.” Congratulations Manuel Ruiz, MBA for starting as an AI Solution Director at C3 AI— we’re so pumped to watch you succeed!

We’re so proud and excited to partner with Google for their VetNet Career Week! BreakLine alumni and Googlers Ronnie Ryder and Chris House will be joining our teammates Zayn and Lauren for the “Boots to Business” workshop, which highlights strategies for navigating this important transition. We’re looking forward to seeing more members of the BreakLine community there, including alum Janell H. representing Waymo on the Auto + Aerospace Industry Panel!
