I could not be more excited to share this week’s episode of the @TakingInvPod with @Snap's President of America’s, @pharrisCT. I have looked up to Patrick since I first met him back in 2011 at @Meta (aka Facebook) while building my first business Shift - before Snap even existed. For over a decade, Patrick helped build Meta's advertising business into the powerhouse that it is today. While most people I know would have taken a victory lap, thankfully for us $SNAP shareholders, Patrick joined Snap to lead the America's and help reshape how agencies, advertisers, and partners work with Snap to grow their businesses. Patrick takes us through how his parents shaped his worldview and approach to leadership, how he started his career, and why Snap was the place for him after such an incredible run at Meta. We also dive into what he’s doubling down on at Snap (ad tech improvements, leaning into relationships, expanding partnerships) and why the market is finally starting to understand that Snap can deliver value to businesses of all sizes. If you know me, you will not be surprised when I say that this is my favorite episode to date, so do me a favor and take a listen (the whole thing is good IMO) - my bet is after listening you will get why @DanielDruger and I have been/continue to be so impressed with Snap and the people who have previously and are currently building there.
