Jeff Lawson Biography

Jeff Lawson is a serial entrepreneur and software developer recognized as the co-founder and former CEO of Twilio, a cloud communications platform that has influenced how businesses interact with customers. Identifying communication as a core component of every business he founded, Lawson applied the Amazon Web Services model to cloud communications, launching Twilio with Evan Cooke and John Wolthuis. Twilio's platform is used by millions of software developers and hundreds of thousands of companies to integrate communications into websites and applications.

Prior to Twilio, Lawson built a notable entrepreneurial background as co-founder and CTO of NineStar, founding CTO of StubHub.com, co-founder, CEO and CTO of Versity, and as one of the first product managers for Amazon Web Services.

During Lawson's tenure, Twilio became a prominent technology company, completing an initial public offering and acquiring companies such as SendGrid and Segment. These acquisitions shifted Twilio's focus from cloud communications to customer experience. The company experienced significant user growth and revenue expansion, surpassing the $1 billion revenue milestone. Lawson has been recognized by Forbes for his achievements in the technology sector.

Lawson is also known for his thought leadership on the role of software developers in business. He authored the book "Ask Your Developer: How to Harness the Power of Software Developers and Win in the 21st Century," which discusses developer-centric culture and the API economy. Lawson's insights on technology, entrepreneurship, and business strategy have made him a respected voice in the software development community.

After more than a decade leading Twilio, Lawson stepped down as CEO and left the company's board. He subsequently acquired The Onion, a satirical news site, through Global Tetrahedron, with Ben Collins as CEO. Lawson's acquisition aimed to protect the publication's legacy and foster a customer-focused, builder mentality within the media industry, reflecting his belief that technology and creativity, combined with a focus on the end user, can revitalize established institutions.
