A few years later, Levie’s original idea was becoming commoditized, and he switched gears to enterprise content management in the cloud.
Traditional enterprise content management, whether on prem or in the cloud, has involved storing, managing, securing and governing unstructured content.
Today, the industry is changing once more, and Box is again working to position itself on the forefront of that shift.
Levie has always had a knack for seeing where the puck is going, and his company is embracing the software shift toward AI and workflow automation.
Last year, Box bought Crooze, a small company that specializes in workflow automation and metadata management with integrations into Box, making it a logical acquisition target.
Those shared interests combined with Ryan’s understanding of the market — and the margins necessary to be successful — led to the founding of EQ Tickets.
Initially, EQ Tickets focused on developing a secondary ticket marketplace, similar to something like StubHub, Vivid Seats, or SeatGeek.
The final tie-in is EQ Tickets’ primary ticketing marketplace, which helps turn the site into a one-stop shop for big events.
The primary ticketing platform hadn’t yet been announced as EQ Tickets was working directly with select clients to test the service.
EQ Tickets is currently available via the web and mobile web but plans to launch a native mobile app later this year.
Emerging decentralized social network and X rival Bluesky has just landed a notable former Twitter leader as its new Head of Trust and Safety.
On Wednesday, the company announced it has appointed Aaron Rodericks, who most recently co-led the Trust and Safety team at Twitter, to this new position.
It’s an indication that the network will approach trust and safety similarly, if not better, than Twitter once did, before Musk’s takeover.
Bluesky says Rodericks will lead the moderation team that provides 24/7 coverage to uphold the Bluesky Community Guidelines and promises reports are reviewed in under 24 hours.
“Aaron’s expertise in trust & safety at global scale brings invaluable experience to our moderation team.
