Biz Carson / Protocol : Tweets: @bizcarson , @protocol , @bwjones , @rsquared , @rklau , and @protocol Tweets: Biz Carson / @bizcarson : I asked @rklau what shocked him about joining the government after 13+ years at Google. His answer shocked me: “I think the shock is the pace at which we execute; it's at least as blistering as anything I've ever experienced at Google.” https://www.protocol.com/... @protocol : When Rick Klau joined the California government, he expected a culture shock after 13 years at Google. Instead, he found a shock at the pace of work: “it's at least as blistering as anything I've ever experienced at Google.” https://www.protocol.com/... Bryan William Jones / @bwjones : 1) This is a great article. 2) @rklau is looking to hire a chief product officer for California.

Job alert: Rick is looking for a chief product officer for the state of California. https://twitter.com/... Rick Klau / @rklau : Really enjoyed talking with @bizcarson about why I'm so fired up about my new job at @CADeptTech. If this sounds like a mission you want to be a part of, I really want to hear from you. DMs are open. https://twitter.com/... @protocol : “It's absolutely not my job to Googlify the state of California. I think it is my job to understand how tech teams work and how they can work at scale.” https://www.protocol.com/...
