He’s never been afraid to speak up for those values in a meeting. Countless times, he’s taken a whiteboard of ideas, and translated them into a meaningful experience in the product and company.īut what I’ve always loved is not just what he’s built, but how he’s built-with empathy, care and concern for others.
Often, his contributions were transformational. Sometimes the tasks were small-he once hurt his wrist putting together IKEA desks at our first office. And so began the start of an amazing, decade-long journey together, and with all of you.Įvan’s been so essential to Pinterest’s growth. That idea turned into a product, which we later named Pinterest. I remember thinking: Wow, I want to work with this guy.Įventually, we began talking about building a tool to help you collect the things you love on the internet. He was clearly a builder at heart, which was fitting because he was in architecture school. We talked about our (nerdy) interests, our families, and our hopes for the future. In processing it, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the beginning. So the good news is that he’s not going far away. Here at Pinterest, he will be transitioning into an advisory role and continue serving as a board member. He will be starting an exciting new adventure outside the company (which I’ll let him tell you about!). I write to share some bittersweet news: Evan will be stepping away from his day-to-day work at Pinterest.
