Highlights
It's incredibly sad to hear about the upcoming lay-offs at WeTransfer and see this happen to my dear former colleagues – they are a bunch of crazy talented people with whom I loved working every single minute.
After leaving WeTransfer just a while ago, I realized how lucky I was to have worked at a place that was special for a really long time: the passionate people, the product, the brand, but most of all the commitment to all things creativity and supporting artists. There are so many beautiful and important creative projects out there in the world that wouldn’t have been there if it wasn’t for WeTransfer and WePresent.
I will be forever proud for what we have achieved together over the years and I’m sure that the people that are about to be laid off will continue to bring this energy and creativity in their future careers.
