#MeetTheHiringManager — AJ Axelrod

Hello, again! We’re back with another round of our infamous #MeetTheHiringManager series. We’re excited to introduce AJ Axelrod (He/Him), our Head of Strategy and Business Development! You can find him here on LinkedIn, and keep reading to get to know him.

Q: What is one thing we wouldn’t know about you by looking at your LinkedIn?

I really enjoy cooking.

Q: What is it like being a part of the Strategy and Business Development team?

It’s a new team so, whoever joins is going to have a huge role in shaping it.

Q: What has been your favorite memory with your team?

I’m looking forward to building some memories in the office when we can finally get there!

Q: When did you know HoneyBook was the right choice?

When Yen Yen (our CFO) called to give me my offer. It was the beginning of COVID, and she told me about the tough decision our leadership team made to do salary reductions, with leaders taking the biggest reduction, just so they wouldn’t have to do any layoffs. It showed me that HoneyBook is a company that lives its values.

Q: We save the most important question for last. What’s your go-to snack?

Gummy bears!
