“Ty is a phenomenal leader and bar raiser. I worked in Ty’s Business Product Marketing organization for over two years at Meta. His global organization generated market and client inbound influencing product roadmaps and launched new product go-to-markets for Instagram, Facebook, Ads Manager, and beyond serving 250 million businesses, agencies, media partners, and creators and 2.5 billion people around the world. Ty personally sponsored video innovation, enabling Instagram and Facebook to increase daily active users and to monetize at two times the pace of past new product experiences. Ty is an inspiring leader, rigorous operator, and sets high expectations of his people leaders. He interviewed me for my role at Meta and was a key reason I joined the company. Ty is a talent magnet and I would be honored to work with him again.”

While it is structurally different than moving from job to job, company to company, it is the path that you take to get to the next level. For most people (and for me, sometimes), it seems like a secret.
Many of my mentees have asked me about career development, and what path to take. The path to take is the one you choose, but it requires intentionality on your part.
