Hi Etsians,
It’s great to meet you. I’m excited to be with the amazing community of people who have made Etsy what it is today.
I’m joining Etsy as Chief Operating Officer (COO) at a time when all the teams at Etsy are working incredibly hard to improve shopping, selling and exploring. As the COO, it’s my job to support our internal teams, from customer support to engineering and community, as they work to make the Etsy experience better. At the end of the day, my job is to make everyone here more successful.
While working at Etsy is new to me, fast-growing organizations aren’t. Before coming here, I led teams responsible for much of Google’s growth outside the United States. I worked in Product Management, and in what we called Online Sales and Operations.
I spent years travelling the globe from Bangalore to Belo Horizonte, Brazil and beyond, trying to understand the people who use Google, making sure that Google responded to them. I hope to bring all I learned in those travels to Etsy, and I am excited to continue to learn from everyone here.
Oh, and who am I? Work aside, I’m a polyglot who speaks 10 languages and has lived in five countries. I’m the son of a spinner-weaver-knitter-painter-musician mom and a musician-photographer-dentist dad. I’m a recent New York transplant, moving here from San Franciso. And with my amazing partner, I’m the co-guardian of a rescued dog named Hank. (Anyone want to guess on his provenance? Best guess I’ve heard so far is: half-standard poodle, half Muppet.)
I’m eager to hear from and meet many of you in the coming months and years. It’s good to be here!

I am leaning towards 75% Muppet & 20% standard poodle & 5% lamb (fur and feet). And I think Google may be a language so that would put you at 11 languages that you speak! Soon to be 12 if you add the Etsian tongue. Adam, welcome to Etsy!

Re: Hank's provenance; yes I see the Standard Poodle and I think the "missing half" may very well be...Love Bunny. And on a more serious note: Thank you for all your efforts thus far and to come. We've approached our Etsy Collective Store with a sense of seriousness to match our creativity. We've posted this long ago on our profile and it's a poster we had printed and framed to hang in the lab, so we each remember 'what we're here for.' In an effort to perhaps motivate other sellers, we will share this here: Our Etsy Pledge: The team works together sourcing and sharing materials and helping each other developmentally and artistically. Each member of the male/female teams believes in professionalism and respect of the craft (and all that it entails) and its admirers. Each member of this Store Collective are forever grateful to have this Etsy selling platform from which to further develop their marketing and to reach prospective adult USA consumers, many of which we suspect will become, in turn, life-long friends. This Etsy Store Collective, under the group name: Sparkling Bag Candy--- is grateful for the ability to share an Etsy-wide-selling-platform with countless amazing creative artisans... and will always attempt to conduct itself willingly and respectfully in mandated compliance of Etsy Terms of Service.

selamat datang (taking a stab at one of your many languages--very jealous of your ability). Is hank a bergadoodle? bergamasco/poodle cross. Either that or sheep...totally see sheep. Sheep/muppet cross perhaps? that'd be an interesting muppet show--maybe it was in their sex and violence episode? :)

Welcome Adam! I think Etsy is very lucky to have someone aboard with your experience with fast growing internet phenomena, AND your international experience - says a seller from the Netherlands. Etsy is a US platform by origin, but as this world is becoming more and more that global village, it's nice that our new COO knows there is a world outside of the US, and that there's busisness there too. Bless all those Etsy sellers who sell their goodies to anywhere in the world! But it's still amzazing how many Etsy sellers don't do that... (even find it somewhat scary to ship anything abroad). So Yay! A new COO who knows about all that! And I've always been more of a cat person, sorry....but as of now I think I'm a dog person too! What a cute looking dog, and what a great personality! Happy to know our new Boss has such a great personal assistent. Have fun in your new job!

Welcome to Etsy to both you and Hank...:) Be prepared for a storm as we sellers have MANY MANY MANY things we want implemented and we're not shy to ask for them...;) Oh! My guess...;) He could well be part Poodle, but most Poodle mixes still end up with the long, elegant snout and are more obviously mixed than he is. My guess is he could be a mix like a Labradoodle because they often have a more Golden face than most other Poodle mixes (god I hate that term) but I'd lean more towards him being a Barbet who's been combed and shaven down...;) Hehe, way to kill the fun by being serious...:D

Welcome! I'm thrilled you're here and thrilled you have a rescued dog. Hank is absolutely precious. My guess on his antecedents is Bedlington Terrier, the dog that is known for looking like a lamb (as someone suggested earlier in this). Check out some pics of unshaven Bedlingtons and you may see a resemblance!

Hi Hank and your human. Sasha the wiener dog here. We know the dog is the one really running the show. Welcome to etsy! My best guess Hank is you look like Standard Poodle and maybe a bit of schnauzer mixed in. But, I'd have to smell ya to know for sure. Woofs to you. K9's rule!

You left San Fran, my 2nd most favorite city in the world (after Hamburg and before The Hague)? That's what I call dedication. :) Hank looks like he has some bobtail and schnauzer in there... it's what our first dog Oscar looked like in the summer. As a polyglot, I hope to see you in Berlin some time in the future - and see if one of your 10 languages is German. Kind regards from Hamburg, Gila

Welcome Adam, it too is my pleasure to be here as a buyer. I see Hank's picture, it is easy to determine what he is, Grey I have two, Brown and Tan, respectfully Tara and Sasha. Change is good! Expansion is a viable product It is good to see that you are responcible for internal workings. Fix Drill Down search so it works.

Welcome Adam! My husband VanDuct and I tend to disagree with you on the breed of your dog. We think he is part Fraggle, but that was a Jim Henson brainchild too....so, I guess muppet will suffice.

Welcome, Adam! You're ok and I am impressed with your background. Hope you can get the kinks straightened out and pay attention to what the sellers want, which are rollouts that we have asked for and a decent customer service. You got a job to do and I hope Etsy lets you do it. But Hank? All he needs to do is just be. I'm in love. A daily Hank picture would be greatly appreciated. Smoochy smoochy smoo, Hanky boy, you poodle-y spaniel fluff ball of doggie goodness. * * I am admittedly insane about dogs.

Hello Adam - and good luck in your new post. As a newbie to the Etsy world, am looking forward to getting going - and am a dog freak to say the least. Hank may not be a "heinz-hound" - he has a look of an unusal breed called a Bedlington Terrier (check with the Kennel Club). He looks a real sweetie.

coldhamcuddlies says:
As a fellow newbie, and a techno phobe, good luck in your new role at Etsy. Hank's no "heinz-hound" - looks to me like an old-fashioned, not as popular breed known as a Bedlington Terrier! He's a real sweetie to look at though. All the best Isobel

coldham may have hit on something but PLEASE don't have him clipped/shaved. he is MUCH cuter the way he is. welcome to etsy and I hope you will be working with/for the sellers too as we always seem to get left out. It ends up being about the company and the buyers and we just seem to......be here. (that would be everywhere, not just here)
