Tido Carreiro keynote
summary
Joins Dropbox to lead and ships the two-account feature across desktop, iOS, Android and web in about six months, then takes over the resulting core app team. Hires a manager who previously ran 150 people and lets that manager lead. Runs multiple aqu-hires (one adds 15–20 people in Tel Aviv) that create 9am Sunday time-zone friction for San Francisco PMs. Measures managers by clear weekly outputs and keeps sanity with six-week written failure-and-progress reviews.
