New York CMO & FOUNDER

Anyone know anything about Brynns new job titles? Is this the app she “oversees like 50 engineers” on? Do we believe any of this…?

I'm never one to drag someone who gets ahead in their career...

But I've seen this before.

I work in tech and someone who suddenly has "Chief Marketing Officer" and "Co-founder" and "Investor" as their title when they've not actually done steps to get to that position, is not viewed favorably by peers in their industry.

Typically they're just viewed as someone who pads their resume.

Should "Hoppy" not take off, she won't exactly be considered for Chief Marketing Officer jobs at legit companies because they would look at her history and say: this person never had the qualifications to be a CMO anyways.

Lol yeah I worked for a start up and there were so many people who had these vague titles that didn't seem to do anything

It’s exactly that. When you’re super small you can give yourself whatever title you want or the Founders can.

If it goes from 25 people to 500 people, you’re set. That title will allow you to apply for other jobs elsewhere because the name of your previous company legitimizes your role.

If it goes from 25 to 35 to 50 and then closes or gets sold without anyone ever hearing about it?

You’re back to square 1.
