DoorDash President Christopher Payne on Pushing Companies out of their Comfort Zone (virtual)
Description
Christopher Payne has always helped companies defy expectations. He joined Microsoft in 1990 as a traveling salesman for Microsoft Access, despite being ‘no-hired’ twice and believing he should have been an engineer.
At Amazon he hit the road again, to persuade disbelieving studios they should place a bet on customers wanting movies delivered to their doorstep.
At eBay, he challenged expectations of what technology could do to put cherished collectibles in people’s hands.
At DoorDash he’s unlocking new verticals to take the business beyond restaurants, as customers continue to raise the bar of what they expect from “convenient delivery.” Recently, DoorDash announced a partnership with Albertsons grocery stores to provide express delivery services.
You can hear Christopher in action on this episode of Pivot with Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway; their interview starts at 30:05.
Join Christopher for an exciting conversation on what it means to get out of your comfort zone in business.
Participants must register by NOON on March 21st to receive details on joining the discussion. The Zoom link will be sent out 24 hours before the event.
Please note that no refunds will be issued.
