Ian Fliflet is the Chief Growth Officer at OfferUp.  Prior to joining OfferUp, Ian was the General Manager at GameHouse, a computer games company.  He also spent 10 years at Real Networks, a digital media company where he worked in Corporate Development. 

In this episode we talk about Ian’s motivation for moving to a higher risk company, why he finds that focusing too much on the minutiae can result in missing big opportunities, and his largest M&A deal to fall through. He also shares his thoughts on the tech space in Seattle back in 2000, how the metrics were able to show him that OfferUp was something pretty special, and why creating value for customers is still the biggest motivator for him.

I hope you enjoy the show.
