Twilio lays off 11% of workforce

Yesterday was a very tough day because Twilio announced a layoff, impacting 11% of our workforce. I was NOT directly impacted but I appreciate everyone who is reaching out and checking up on me and my family. Twilions are some of the brightest, most personable, and creative people I've worked with. I encourage anyone that is hiring to grab these rockstars! To those impacted by layoffs, both in and outside of Twilio, please don't hesitate to reach out to me if I can be of assistance in anyway. I'm more than happy to connect you with folks or be a person that you can bounce thoughts off of. ????

Really challenging day for Twilio and for many of my colleagues, friends, and those I consider family. For those that may have been impacted, I've created this (non-Twilio official / sponsored) Google Form to help consolidate contact information and create a list of rockstar talent to hopefully help people find the next chapter of their careers. Twilions, you will be missed dearly. To those looking to hire exceptional talent I encourage you to reach out to the people on this list. Please help share this post for visibility so that we can reach as many impacted people as possible.

Twilio, what a ride these last three years have been. I am forever grateful for the opportunity and will never forget the amazing people that I was able to work with and build life long relationships with. Unfortunately my role has been terminated during this mass lay off. I’m now open to any new opportunities within the sales and tech space.

Unfortunately, I learned via email this AM that I am one of the 11% of Twilions laid off effective today. To say I'm heartbroken is an understatement, especially as I was just promoted to the Growth Account Executive role in July. I'm thankful for the experiences I've had, the personal growth I've made, the wonderful people I've reported to and worked with for the last 22 months. Thank you Gwen Mitsch, Alpha Owens, Laura Landau, Dan Ingram, Eric Griffen, Rhys Wilson, and far too many others I am forgetting to name because well, I'm a bit of an emotional wreck. Twilio has been a dream to work for, and I'm crushed at this sudden end to the journey. If anyone in my network knows of someone who's hiring for a passionate and successful saleswoman who doesn't do shenanigans and works her ass off, hit me up. I'm #opentowork. Today though, I'll be taking some time to cry, vent, bake cookies, cuddle the dog, and do what I need to for self-care and preservation. #layoffs #twiliolayoffs #sales #ineedadrink #network #lookingforwork #thankyou

#LinkedIn Nation - Well it happened... Twilio just had layoffs and I am one of the walking wounded. I have learned so much about myself, this industry etc... I really enjoyed my team- Awesome partner with my RSM Oliver Meeker, and our sold AE team- Roberta Cusano,Jimmy Riker,Kayleigh Monahan,Ben Drake,Angela Focke, Dammand Cherry, MBA,Christopher Vitek Some of them were also impacted by the layoffs-each one of them are solid, experienced, enterprise account executives.
