I Scaled Dropbox to $1 Billion (President Amplitude, Thomas Hansen)
Episode 394
Thomas Neergaard Hansen — President of Amplitude and former Microsoft and Dropbox executive — proved to me that even the most hard-earned leadership skills aren’t always enough.
He’s led billion-dollar teams, navigated career reinventions, and even learned leadership lessons on a windsurfing board.
In this episode, he opens up about the next leadership superpower every leader needs to survive — and thrive — in today’s AI-driven world.
You'll discover:
-Why the “career ladder” is gone for good
-The daily habit he uses to stay ahead with his own team
-How AI is shifting what makes a great leader
-Why the best CEOs embrace what they don’t know
-What windsurfing taught him about business risk and resilience
This isn’t theory — it’s real, hard-won insight from the front lines of leadership.
Only the leaders who adapt will last...
