Thank you for leading the first edition of Product Marketing at Schoolzilla as well as so many other firsts as well. Your constant pioneering and undying advocacy on behalf of the districts we serve are things I will take with me.

I also will never forget when you brought the office Digestives. They are bloody delicious. Thanks for helping make SZ what it is and all the best.

I'm really enjoyed working wit you, and thanks for getting me to Schoolzilla! So much of my own progress is a tribute to your willingness to support me. I'm so excited to stay in touch after your transition. I wish, Nick, Fern, and June all the best! -leo]]> 2017-02-23 14:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_russell/bn691plqqa6f/wish/155766375 https://padlet.com/ashley_russell/bn691plqqa6f/wish/155772588 Thanks for looking out for your fellow introverts at Schoolzilla.  Your advice and encouragement will be missed.  Good luck in the next chapter of your life across the pond!

I can't imagine what Schoolzilla would be without your influences. You will be sorely missed, but hopefully will stay in touch!

I feel lucky to have been on a team with you. Your fingerprints will always be all over Schoolzilla, and I could not be happier about that fact. Good luck in your next adventures!

Thank you for all that you've done for Schoolzilla - you'll be missed big time!

I remember reading your profile on Schoolzilla's website when I was interviewing and thinking that if people like you were in the "private" sector, then I could feel safe making the jump out of the non-profit world. Thanks for being you!

The stories you tell for and about Schoolzilla have helped us become better and reach farther.  And you've always put the Fun in Funcountability.

On a personal note, thank you for bringing me to Schoolzilla, helping me find a company I feel passionate about and a career path that I enjoy. I owe so much of my personal growth to your mentorship and wisdom.

Your genuine care for solving tricky ed problems and for making students lives better made me want to work here from our first conversation. I am so appreciative of the time I did get to work with you.

From the first interactions with you in my interview to this day, you have my deep respect and admiration. I will miss you. We will miss you. We wouldn't be where we are without you. Good luck in all that you do - Eric]]> 2017-02-24 22:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_russell/bn691plqqa6f/wish/156155510 https://padlet.com/ashley_russell/bn691plqqa6f/wish/156158053 I want thank you for:
- Pulling me into the craziness of RAT and making a product manager out of me
- Leading me through Data Wall, my first real development project
- Coaching me through the insanity of My Data and CSGF, and teaching me how to really be an advocate for users while still getting stuff done
- Believing in me and encouraging me through all of the ups and downs of the last two years

I will miss you so much! But also, I can't wait to see the amazing things you do in the future (and, maybe, get to work with you on them one day :) ).

You made me feel so appreciated and valued. You've undoubtedly had a similarly powerful impact on every Zilla you've worked with. Thank you so much for being a strong leader, for digging to understand customers' needs, for steering our product design and direction, and for being such a shining example of our values. It's been an incredible honor to work with you. Please stay in touch, and keep spreading your impact wherever you land next. -Chris]]> 2017-02-25 00:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_russell/bn691plqqa6f/wish/156160958 https://padlet.com/ashley_russell/bn691plqqa6f/wish/158765124 You were the first person who got me interested in Schoolzilla and the first person who started teaching me about Tableau. While our projects rarely overlapped, working with you on the PMM team was a delight, and I struggle to picture Schoolzilla without you.  I'll miss having you on our SZ team, but I know you'll be a tremendous asset wherever you end up next. Good luck, and stay in touch!
