Why did you leave turbine? It sounds like it was a very nice career progression from being totally new to sales.

Oh, sorry, I just joined Turbine! They're fantastic :)

The company where I transitioned was Tracelytics / AppNeta. AppNeta acquired Tracelytics and that was part of the forcing function for making the leap.

They're a great company, but I left in 2015 because my wife got a job on the other side of the country and after 5 years with the same team, I had an itch to start a company. If we had stayed in Boston, I probably would have stayed at AppNeta, but sometimes the job isn't the only thing going on.
