Time for me to go out, go out into the world

By Peter Fearey | Posted on October 20th, 2006

WOW, I’ve been staring at the screen for about two hours tonight. As the subject line suggests, I’m heading off on a new adventure. I knew this day would come; I’m an early stage gal. But, I’ve never been this passionate about a product and its opportunity; a team and the company behind them; and you — our customers and supporting ecosystem. There have been so many times that I wanted to reach out and hug you all, because of the way you’ve supported us as we grew up.

You’ll continue to see me on the community forum, and perhaps I’ll even find a chance to post a note or two here to fill you in on how I’m using QuickBase as the CEO of a growing company. Liz has made me promise to share a customer success story. The sales team is competing over who will get the commission on my account. And, the customer advocate, product management and engineering teams are concerned about who will be covering my support cases. But, short and sweet… Thank you all for three years of bliss!!!

(And, credit to Semisonic for giving me a fitting good-bye subject line.)
