After almost nine years, today is my last day as an employee of Flurry. I will remain involved and on the board, but it is the end of a significant chapter of my life and the beginning of a new one. It is a bittersweet day for me.

I have been lucky over these nine years. Most start up companies fail in the first few months, many others in their first year. Not only has Flurry survived, it has thrived and now employs 150 people with a large and growing business. Today, Flurry is recognized as a central part of the mobile world and provides a clear voice for this new industry.

Along the way, I have been lucky enough to enjoy front row seats for the mobile revolution as it has changed the world. Starting in 2005, back when everyone believed the carriers controlled the world, Flurry has been at the center of mobile applications. Flurry grew up with the industry and as it changed so did we. When the Motorola RAZR became the hottest phone on the market, we were there. When the iPhone changed the definition of a phone forever, we were there. When Android was released as the first free mobile OS, we were there. When the iPad, Kindle and Nexus devices introduced us to the idea of a tablet, we were there. These important moments in the history of business were also moments in the life of Flurry, woven together like a tapestry to tell the story of this amazing revolution.

I am proud of Flurry and what we have been able to accomplish. I am proud of how many mobile developers we have helped to succeed, some of them beyond our wildest dreams. I am proud of the team we assembled and how we were able to do so much while still having so much fun. I am proud of the moments when we were faced with impossible odds and found a way to succeed.

My journey with Flurry has been amazing, but now our paths diverge. I leave the company in great hands with a promising future and will enjoy watching it grow from the sidelines. For the first time in nine years I will have a chance to catch my breadth, relax, and recharge my batteries. There are many adventures left to be had and I am eager to discover them.

So, what’s next?
