Ten years working with amazing people
Today is my last day at thePlatform, and I depart with mixed emotions. I’m one of the lucky ones who have had the pleasure of working with thePlatform team for almost ten years. I’ve proudly worked side by side with a world-class team of programmers, managers, sales executives, marketers, writers, architects, project managers, lawyers, administrators, financial wizards, trainers, account managers, and the amazing dance crew in Technical Support.
The road hasn’t always been easy for thePlatform. We had to fundraise during one of the most difficult economic periods, and our technology approach, although well understood today, was ahead of its time in the early 2000s. We stayed committed through the ups and downs, largely due to our fearless leader Ian Blaine, whose strength and courage inspired us to take on tough challenges and stay positive even when our future looked dire.
Today, thePlatform is without question the most respected video management and publishing solution in the market. I thank not only the amazing team at thePlatform for getting us here, but every customer and technology partner that has joined us in this amazing journey. It is your insight, support, and continued enthusiasm that has enabled thePlatform team to stay together all these years. Together we launched the most well-known video services in the market, had a lot of fun along the way, and most importantly, created friendships that will last a lifetime.
Through the years thePlatform has developed a rich culture of collaboration “people first” philosophy and continues to focus on innovation and doing the right thing. With these characteristics so deeply embedded in the organization, thePlatform’s future is bright and exciting. I look forward to watching the team continue to lead the market. I’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines and I’ll throw my own mini-celebrations when I see every win.
I’m sad to say goodbye. I’ll miss you all and I wish you the best.
-Trish
