How to handle hypergrowth like Grammarly


Listen Later

Grammarly has a simple but ambitious goal: turn all of its users into great writers. How good is it? We even used it to edit this text - and since Heidi Williams Joined Grammarly a year ago, the company has doubled in size. As Head of Engineering for B2B & Platform, she's at the forefront of crucial new initiatives - all while navigating hypergrowth and keeping users in mind.

Heidi joins us to share the lessons she's learned from hypergrowth, her experience as a CTO and Co-Founder, her time as VP of Engineering at Box, and other leadership lessons. She also breaks down what's next for Grammarly and gives us an inside look at the unique culture that powers Grammarly. Plus, don't miss her deep dive with LinearB COO Dan Lines into metrics, team dynamics, and much more.

Grammarly is hiring: Check out their open positions.
