You've Gotta Have Hat - Lacework CEO David Hatfield
When Sandesh and I are talking with startups, they typically lack a critical piece in their path to success, someone to drive company culture and vision and to communicate that with both employees and customers. This is usually when you hear the phrase, “You just need someone like Hat, “ or, “If we only had Hat.” The Hat everyone is talking about is David Hatfield, co-CEO of the cloud security platform Lacework, which just raised and absolutely stunning $1.3B with an $8.3B valuation.
The Gear I Use - 2021

I will also note that some of these links are affiliate links, which doesn’t cost you anything extra, but does give a little bit back to the channel.

Which is an apt description because, in the end, it is merely the illusion of infinite space, time and possibility.
