Twilio; "Ask Your Developer"

Jeff Lawson co-founded Twilio in 2008 and served as its CEO, scaling it into a publicly traded cloud communications company used by hundreds of thousands of developers. His 2021 book 'Ask Your Developer' argues that software developers should be treated as strategic assets rather than cost centres. He stepped down as Twilio's CEO in early 2024.
