Deriving Motivation from Adversity with Sameer Dholakia, CEO of Twilio SendGrid


Listen Later

All of us are shaped by our personal stories and experiences, and at times, the unfortunate events that occur throughout our lives are the ones that can motivate us beyond our own belief. 

Openness, optimism, and dedication are few of many words to describe Sameer Dholakia, the CEO at Twilio SendGrid. Founded in 2009 and acquired by Twilio in 2018, SendGrid is an industry-leading, cloud-based email and communications platform.

Today, Sameer and Chad sit down to discuss:

  • Sameer's advice for those facing hard times, and how he leveraged the struggles in his own life to become the father, husband, and CEO he is today.
  • The culture at SendGrid, and his values as a leader.
  • The state of the world and the necessity for optimism.
  • Plus much more!
