Where were you before joining Unity?
加入Unity之前,您在哪里?
I was at Rubicon Project, an advertising automation company in various roles that includes product, operations, and corporate strategy. I co-founded a mobile advertising startup called Mobsmith, which was acquired by Rubicon Project to help kick-start their mobile advertising business. It was a fantastic learning experience going from a small start-up to a larger start-up, going through an IPO and learning how to operate as a public company. Before Mobsmith, I held several product roles at Yahoo! Inc., including Director, Product Management for the Yahoo! Homepage and International Product Manager for Flickr.
我曾在一家广告自动化公司Rubicon Project工作,担任过各种职务,包括产品,运营和公司战略。 我与他人共同创立了一家名为Mobsmith的移动广告创业公司,该公司被Rubicon Project收购,以帮助启动其移动广告业务。 从小型初创企业到大型初创企业,通过IPO并学习如何以上市公司的方式进行,这真是一次奇妙的学习经历。 在Mobsmith之前,我在Yahoo!担任过多个产品角色。 Inc.,包括Yahoo!产品管理总监 Flickr的主页和国际产品经理。
What does your day-to-day look like?
您的日常状况如何?
There is never a typical day (which I love). I spend time with the team 1:1 or in a group. We tackle specific projects, brainstorm strategy or problem solve an issue. I also have various calls or meetings with partners and customers to learn first hand how we can make them more successful. A significant portion of my time is also spent meeting potential candidates for our team. At times, something unexpected happens and I have to go into crisis management mode. I try to do my best to juggle all of this with family – getting kids ready for school, getting back in time for dinner and bedtime.
从来没有一个典型的日子(我喜欢)。 我与团队1:1或小组在一起。 我们处理特定的项目,头脑风暴策略或解决问题的方法。 我还与合作伙伴和客户进行了各种电话或会议,以直接了解我们如何使他们更加成功。 我的大部分时间也花在与我们团队的潜在候选人会面上。 有时会发生意外情况,因此我不得不进入危机管理模式。 我尽力与家人一起处理所有这一切-让孩子们准备上学,及时回到晚餐和就寝时间。
What cool projects are you working on?
您正在从事哪些出色的项目?
Our mission is to enable developer success. Our team is working on services and tools that help developers run a profitable business which continues to fund the creation of richer player experiences and new games.
我们的使命是使开发人员成功。 我们的团队正在研究服务和工具,以帮助开发人员开展有利可图的业务,并继续为创造更丰富的玩家体验和开发新游戏提供资金。
Have you met any professional milestones at Unity? If so, what?
您在Unity遇到了任何专业里程碑吗? 如果是这样,该怎么办?
This is the largest cross-functional and most global team that I’ve had the privilege of leading. Our team includes product, data science, engineering, sales, and operations spread across 9 countries. Integrating various working cultures and figuring out rules of engagement between the teams so we can work effectively together is the most challenging but also the most rewarding part of the job.
这是我有幸领导的最大的跨职能和全球团队。 我们的团队包括遍布9个国家/地区的产品,数据科学,工程,销售和运营。 整合各种工作文化并找出团队之间的参与规则,使我们能够有效地一起工作,这是工作中最具挑战性但也是最有意义的部分。
What do you enjoy about working at Unity overall?
您总体上在Unity工作有什么乐趣?
Number one is the people. I feel very lucky to work with the best at what they do. It forces me to bring my A+ game every day and keep me continuously learning and challenged. I also love the diversity and uniqueness of our team. It enables us to look at problems from different perspectives. Between the monetization leadership team of 9, we’ve lived in 20+ countries, come from all different professional backgrounds from pro-golfer, airlines pricing expert to finance, 5:4 female to male ratio and strong representation from the LGBTQ community.
第一是人。 我很幸运能与他们所做的最好的事情一起工作。 这迫使我每天带上我的A +游戏,并使我不断学习和挑战。 我也喜欢我们团队的多样性和独特性。 它使我们能够从不同角度审视问题。 在由9人组成的货币化领导团队之间,我们生活在20多个国家/地区,来自不同职业背景,从专业人士,航空公司定价专家到金融,男女比例为5:4,以及LGBTQ社区的强大代表性。
What would you tell someone considering a career in your field?
您会告诉某人考虑您所在领域的职业吗?
There is never a dull moment. The industry is very dynamic. If you are analytical, love numbers and thrive in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environment – monetization is an exhilarating career.
永远不会有沉闷的时刻。 这个行业非常活跃。 如果您具有分析能力,那么爱情数字会在快节奏的,有时是模棱两可的环境中蓬勃发展-货币化是一项令人振奋的职业。
What’s the best piece of career advice you’ve ever gotten?
您获得的最好的职业建议是什么?
“You miss 100% of the shots that you don’t take”. Many times the first step is the hardest, there are what-ifs and fear of failure. Taking a new role at work, making that cold call to a potential customer or investor, changing industries, starting a new business. In our industry not taking risks today means getting disrupted tomorrow. I learned not to be afraid to take risks and seize the opportunities now. However, not to do it blindly. Doing as much due diligence as possible and using learnings from mistakes to hone my instincts.
“您错过了100%不拍摄的照片”。 很多时候,第一步是最困难的,存在假设和害怕失败。 在工作中扮演新角色,对潜在客户或投资者进行冷遇,改变行业,开始新业务。 在我们的行业中,今天不冒险就意味着明天就被破坏。 我学会了不要害怕冒险并抓住机遇。 但是,不要盲目地做。 做尽可能多的尽职调查,并从错误中吸取教训,磨练我的直觉。
What’s your favorite non-Unity related activity?
您最喜欢与非团结相关的活动是什么?
I have three young kids – 7 and 5-year-old girls and a 3-year-old boy. Most of my non-Unity time is spent with them. We love traveling to new places as a family. My husband and I also love trying out new restaurants in San Francisco whenever we can.
我有3个小孩-7岁和5岁的女孩和3岁的男孩。 我大部分的非团结时间都花在了他们身上。 我们喜欢一家人一起旅行到新的地方。 我和我的丈夫也喜欢在任何可能的地方尝试在旧金山开设新餐厅。
What excites you most about the future of Unity?
您对Unity的未来最感兴趣吗?
I believe that every piece of digital content you will experience in the future will involve Unity. The future of content will be realtime and 3D and we are at the forefront of that evolution.
我相信,您以后将体验的每份数字内容都将涉及Unity。 内容的未来将是实时和3D,我们处于这种发展的最前沿。
I also feel like we are building a company with a heart – which is unique. Yes, we are here to seize business opportunities but we are also very deliberate in how we do it. Everything from how we brought developers together to develop best practices to address the European data privacy laws to supporting our developers from countries impacted by the travel ban to attend our Unite events in Europe so they don’t miss out just because of where they come from.
我也觉得我们正在建立一家有心的公司-这是独一无二的。 是的,我们来这里是为了抢占商机,但我们也是 ,我们 是怎么 做的 非常谨慎 。 从我们如何将开发人员召集在一起以开发最佳实践以解决欧洲数据隐私法,到支持旅行禁令所影响的国家的开发人员参加我们在欧洲举行的Unite活动,一切都不会因为他们来自何处而错过。
