Thom Crowe, a new Community Manager at InfluxData, shares his journey of joining the company. Thom started in digital marketing in 2014 and worked for Compose (formerly MongoHQ), a DBaaS platform. He was introduced to InfluxData by friends who spoke positively about it, and he was drawn to the company's values, which were evident through employee testimonials like Sonia Gupta's "Why I Joined InfluxData" article. Thom reached out to Chris Churilo, Director of Product Marketing, and after a serendipitous conversation, landed the Community Manager position. Since joining, Thom has been impressed by the company's emphasis on innovation, teamwork, and supporting the community, which aligns with his own enthusiasm and commitment.
