"When I left my career as a product manager at Google after six years, my wife wondered what I was doing. Working at Google taught me a ton about company culture and innovation. And yet, it wasn't where I felt I could make my mark. I'm not a founder either and had no interest in bringing a company from 0 to 1, as we say. However, I was drawn to helping companies grow from 1 to 10, or even 50."
"When a private equity firm approached me about running a company, I saw an opportunity to do just that: restructure with a great company culture as a growth strategy. I did that successfully once, and we sold that company. Now, I'm doing the same at Tassel. I joke that I've started my career backward. Google had great benefits and prestige. Now, I make less in base salary than I did then. I've jumped off the corporate cruise ship into a dinghy."
Chase Rigby left his role as a product manager at Google after six years to pursue roles that scale companies from 1 to 10 and beyond. A private equity firm recruited him to run and restructure a company using strong culture as a growth strategy; that company was sold. He now leads Tassel, focused on improving graduation user experience and serving students. He prioritizes building a transparent company culture, influenced by open forums with company founders and candid conversations at Google. He makes less base salary than before and emphasizes practical, honest leadership while applying a three-question performance review at work and at home.
