Nan had a super interesting path to his current role: he started his career as a software engineer at Goldman Sachs, then served as the CTO of Everlane for nearly six years before joining Abstract as an engineering manager (where he paired with Ben as his primary PM counterpart). After a couple years at Abstract, Nan joined Mode Analytics initially as interim CTO and then as their full-time VP of Product.

In this episode, we went deep on how Linear:

* Designs its org and structures its teams

* Builds products (and how it uses Linear)

* Runs work trials to screen for fit

* and much more!

We had a blast talking to Nan and learned a ton from our conversation. Enjoy it!
