    a16z Podcast | Boards, from Both Sides of the Table

    Jennifer Tejada, Margit Wennmachers

    Jennifer Tejada, serving simultaneously as CEO of PagerDuty and a corporate director, leverages her history of opportunistic board entry and deep-dive due diligence to advocate for mutual diligence and distinct board perspectives. She structures her dual roles to ensure transparency through strict communication protocols while utilizing diverse board members like Andreessen Horowitz's John O'Farrell for targeted business alignment. Her approach emphasizes rigorous board management that balances intense private-equity style scrutiny with a "no surprises" policy to foster constructive operator empathy and strategic clarity.
