But we were a very, very small team. And so I saw that unit, like completely scale over my 10 in and I was an account executive and then I started meeting a sales manager. And then at the end of this experience, I was responsible for the go to market motion for good cloud platform, for, startup and SMBs across the EMEA region. And I had spent ten years in cloud computing at this point in time, and I thought the FinTech industry was incredibly interesting. And so I had always said, actually, when I was in Google, I would only leave Google to go work at Stripe because I thought that company was incredibly impressive from their founders to how they completely revolutionized the industry that they were in. And so I had the opportunity to join Stripe a few years and a half ago. Again, various roles, various regions and business units. And now I have the pleasure of running the startup and SME team, go to market for EMEA.
