It was a great conversation and I continue to learn a ton as I work my way through the previous 327 (!) episodes that he has published. Thanks again for having me Dan Turchin.

Last week, I had the privilege of speaking onstage at Transform. I’ve long said that this Transform is the best gathering in the industry — and is THE place to meet some incredible folks working in the People space. Alongside powerhouse leaders Amy Reichanadter (Databricks), Julie Develin, (UKG), and Samantha Simmons (Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA)), I participated in a engaging conversation on the evolving nature of the employee-employer relationship. What emerged is that successful organizations now embrace a true partnership model with their workforce. Prior to the conference, I was also able to share the stage at the HR Confidential pre-conference, put on by OMERS Ventures. It was also a rousing panel discussion, moderated by Gianna Driver, and alongside the immensely talented Melanie Naranjo, Nancy Nazer, Ph.D. ICD. and Juli Gilbert. We debated “the Elon Effect”, a provocative question at the intersection of high performing teams and culture. I always come away with new insights, relationships and I am now excited to get back to it. A heartfelt thank you to Transform for having me join for my fourth year and for OMERS Ventures for inviting me to the HR Confidential sessions. Start the countdown for 2026... #Transform2025 #HRLeadership #WorkplaceCulture

Today, we published financial results for the fourth quarter of 2024 and shared an update on NEXT, our product transformation. With over 100 million Verified Neighbors now on Nextdoor, Q4 marked a strong close to the year. Nextdoor grew users and revenue, improved margins, and reached positive adjusted EBITDA: • Q4 revenue of $65M grew 17% year-over-year, driven largely by more performance-optimized campaigns for self-serve advertisers and increasing search monetization.  • Q4 Weekly Active Users (WAU) grew 10% year-over-year to 45.9 million, on steady organic US user acquisition, and engagement from logged-out users who re-engaged.  • Q4 adjusted EBITDA was $3M (5% margin), representing 30 percentage points of year-over-year improvement, and operating cash flow was $11M. NEXT is now in full motion, and we remain on track to roll out our product changes by mid-2025. Our work on NEXT enables us to better address core user needs and unlock sustainable growth.
