When it comes to launching sales teams in hyper-growth startups, few people have walked the walk as much as Maggie Hott. Despite attending university at Santa Barbara, not too far from the mecca of tech that is Silicon Valley, Maggie never thought she would end up working in technology. She “stumbled” into it, as she told us, first as one of the earliest sales hires of Eventbrite, where she stayed for four years, and then into Slack in early 2015 as the first sales rep in the Bay Area.
