Nick Rockwell liked thisNick Rockwell liked thisEarlier this week, I joined Pinterest as Sr. Director of Strategy and Operations! Pinterest is in an exciting chapter of growth. In 2025 the platform reached a record 619M MAUs who search more than 80 billion times each month. Wow! Beyond the stats, what drew me to this team is the mission. Pinterest is a uniquely positive corner of the internet and a full funnel discovery platform where people move from inspiration to realization. It is the place where people go to build and create for their biggest life moments. Pinterest has supported me through all of mine, and getting to help build the engine behind that magic is a total "pinch me" moment. This team is proving that a brand can do incredibly well while doing good for the world. I am thrilled to learn from this all star crew. A huge thank you to Jean Namkung and Claudine Cheever for the opportunity, and the outstanding people team Alissa Massimilla, Tova Dodge and Doniel Sutton for the warm welcome! #Pinterest #StrategyAndOperations #NewChapter #TechLeadership

Nick Rockwell liked thisNick Rockwell liked thisExcited to share how Bukalapak, one of Indonesia’s top ecommerce marketplaces (130M users, 2M+ daily transactions), scaled securely with Fastly. As they grew, legacy security tooling slowed CI/CD and made managing hundreds of domains complex. By moving to Fastly’s Edge Cloud Platform, they turned a risky migration into an automated, repeatable process. Highlights: ✅ Standardized deployments with Terraform ✅ Greater control with Fastly CDN + VCL ✅ Improved visibility with Next-Gen WAF ✅ ~1M malicious requests blocked in 7 days All while maintaining performance and developer agility. Proud to see this partnership in action. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/g_DTtcSe

Dashboards don’t create accountability. They create meetings. Charts get shared. Everyone nods. Action items get “noted”. Same problems. Next quarter. Accountability doesn’t come from visibility. It comes from systems — where ownership is clear and decisions can’t be ignored. I wrote a short note on why dashboards feel productive but rarely change behaviour — and what actually does. If your org has great dashboards but the same issues every review… this will sound familiar. Dashboards Don’t Create Accountability — Systems Do: https://lnkd.in/gCGpm-VU

In any organization, time and resources are finite—but distractions are not. When teams align around clear priorities and focus on what truly matters, execution accelerates, quality improves, and impact compounds. Strategic focus is not just about doing less—it’s about doing what drives the highest return. The result? A high-yield dividend in productivity, morale, and long-term value. Revenue growth is a nice side effect. https://lnkd.in/d3m82ipd
