Reinforce and create new playbooks to allow our customers to learn Ashby. I want to ensure customers receive the right information through various channels at each stage of their journey with our product. This includes providing tailored tips and insights they didn't know they needed to become experts and achieve their goals. My aim is to scale this process in the most automated way possible, like an invisible hand guiding them to success.
My onboarding experience at Ashby...
Outstanding! You are given the time, resources, and freedom to explore and deep-dive into the company and product vision, as well as the tools and documentation. I have never seen a company with such high-quality internal documentation. This really helps you feel ready to hit the ground running. The team is incredibly welcoming and always ready to lend a hand, ensuring you can learn a lot and enjoy the process!

The level of intentionality and detail in everything we do is remarkable. From internal communication to documentation, and the product itself, everything is meticulously thought through. This impression was evident from my interviews and research, and I was eager to see it embodied. Not every company truly walks the talk, but Ashby does. This mindset is what makes Ashby so special โ you can feel it within the first hours of joining.

I am thrilled by the prospect of focusing on the post-onboarding experience for our Startup customers! We have so many dedicated resources to ensuring Startups can adopt the product quickly, which is incredibly important.

Most surprising thing about Ashby...
The strong culture of collaboration and intentionality. Before joining, I had read Abhik's blog post about thoughtful communication and his approach felt truly mythical. I can report that Ashby walks the talk: my days are uninterrupted by random pings on Slack. When I do seek input from others, team members provide valuable insights and are excited to help. I feel like I will be able to do my best work here.
