Kristen MarvinHOST
Did you look outside the organization? And what made you ultimately decide that the right answer was already inside the building with Alyssa?

Jeff KeeselGUEST
Alyssa was probably two years in as CPO, so while I recognize her for what she is, a special person, smart, driven, a lot of capabilities, just kind of too early, you know, to put her into the succession thought process.

Jeff KeeselGUEST
So we spent, um, between Alyssa, George, and I, probably 18 months working with an outside recruiter, and we interviewed dozens of folks.

Jeff KeeselGUEST
And, you know, we eventually we got it down to three or four that were pretty interesting.
16 MINS LATER

Kristen MarvinHOST
Jeff, did you talk about d- in this succession planning, have you talked with Alyssa about what the approach looks like for the first 90 days when she's in the role? Or, or how, if you haven't, how will you support that first 90 days?
