But, like a well-trained scout, he is staying prepared. Having already gone through “austerity measures” at this point, Dropbox is “on a journey of operational excellence and fiscal discipline” that Houston believes has put the company in a better position today. Accelerated growth led to the kind of overhiring that leaders such as Stripe’s Patrick Collison, Twitter’s Jack Dorsey and Shopify’s Tobias Lütke have all admitted to. In contrast, Houston sees why “Covid-beneficiary companies” that saw “explosive growth and then equally fast decline” are now facing a “really tough environment”. So customers need Dropbox in good environments bad environments.” And Dropbox for a lot of our customers is mission-critical, and we facilitate this kind of distributed work. “It didn’t run up during Covid and it didn’t run down. “I think we’re fortunate in that our business has been pretty stable and resilient,” he said. He’s just keeping his eye on the bigger picture. This view, however, has not darkened Houston’s forecast for Dropbox. “I think it’s smart for companies to plan for things to get worse,” he said, indicating that probability points in this direction. As valuations crash, jobs are cut and belts are tightened, he said that the tech sector should prepare for more to come. ‘Our business has been stable and resilient, but we’re not immune to the macro environment’Īll of this offers context as to why Houston is facing the current situation in the tech sector with stoic realism. Houston said Dropbox is now hiring again, focusing on “the fundamentals”, sustainability, and “balancing growth and profitability”. The answer was a flat no, seeing as the company already reduced its global headcount by 11pc in early 2021. The ominous question hanging over the CEO’s visit, however, was if Dropbox would be planning to cut any of those team members, in light of a spate of such announcements from Twitter, Stripe, Twilio, Patreon, Intercom and Shopify, among others. While Dropbox has a policy of not disclosing regional breakdowns of its staff, the impression is that a substantial body of workers is now spread across Ireland thanks to the company’s flexible working policy. All of Dropbox’s employees globally – about 3,000 of them – now have access to these spaces for in-person collaboration. The purpose-built office space has been designed to best facilitate flexible, ‘virtual-first’ and asynchronous work. Houston was in Dublin today (8 November) visiting the Dropbox Studio in the city centre. “I think we operate a lot better in that kind of environment, strangely.” “We have some institutional memory of things being difficult,” he said. Drew Houston, who has led the company as CEO since he started it with Arash Ferdowsi, knows what it’s like to bring a business through tough economic circumstances. On a visit to the company’s transformed international headquarters in Dublin, Dropbox co-founder Drew Houston offered a level-headed view of the current chaos on the scene.įounded in 2007, Dropbox grew up in the shadow of the 2008 financial crash.
