so in today's video we are talking about Evernote's brand new CEO Ian Small we're
going to be chatting about Chris O'Neill as well and what's next for Evernote so
stay tuned for today's video hello guys and welcome back to another video
another evernote piece today we have an Evernote to interview with Tiago Forte
today all about what the future of Evernote is so this came at a really
weird time if you want to check out that video it's gonna be in description below
so guys Ian small is the brand-new Evernote CEO so who is in small in small
used to be the head of TokBox which is now Vonage or is part of a company
called Nexmo, he was the chairman of the company that offered a online video
conferencing software so the software was mainly developed for businesses to
connect up with people and it has now been acquired as of august 2018 so
previously in small worked with Telefonica which is a popular company as
a chief chief data officer as well he also advised paper fold which was a
uk-based email application and is now joined as Evernote CEO in his
announcement blog post on the evident website
he told what it inventing the future which I quite liked a couple of things
in that blog post and I think you should be aware of is that he did state that
Chris O'Neill was a very integral part in the last three years of helping
evident get back on a financial footing he also has mentions that he's been
chatting with staff and the founder of Evernote about the way more ways to
explore and invent more at Evernote he also states it is a massive user of
productivity applications talking about how he is a relentless task organizer to
and I what I particularly like in a statement as well is dimension of how he
wants us to fall in love with us all over again at Evernote which is quite a
good statement I'd say bear in mind the sort of community situation right now
and he also wants to dedicate some time to where we've fallen short and how we
can do better as well and investigating how that has really impacted the users
one thing that really loved about this post by ian is that he left a little
personal PS at the end the message reads from as far back as I
can remember I have strong memories of my mother
collecting elephant mementos from the first day I talked with Evernote about
talking about taking the role I thought all about those elephants and
had the sense that today was somehow just meant to be I really like that
message and I think that's something really nice to leave us with so over on
reddit it is all been very positive so far and I haven't seen any negative
messages obviously Chris O'Neill has now left the company Chris was CEO all the
way back in 2015 where he joined and he has really been trying to put the
pillars in for supporting finance and onboarding of Evernote making it a much
more open platform for brand new users and Thiago does point a lot to the
things that they've been working on in our chat that we had here on today's
video so what does that mean for Evernote future as you can imagine with
a brand new CEO I can imagine they're going to spend a lot of time developing
their sort of routine in terms of getting him into into touch with
everything that's happening at Evernote and I could probably see that he will
try to refocus Evernote's mission but obviously trying to continue it on it
the lines of work what I quite like about the fact that he's come from a
video confident background is it he's been very interested in the sort of
enterprise side of stuff whereas obviously he doesn't necessarily need to
focus on the enterprise side of stuff I feel like that's gonna be beneficial for
those who use Evernote for work anyway guys hopefully you enjoyed today's video
