Scaling fast

The read

Net 26-person contraction (31 joined, 57 left) over 90 days masks a deliberate pivot: sales remains the fastest-growing function despite the Chief Security Officer and a Principal Product Marketing Manager departing. Glean brought in four VP-level GTM hires—covering Strategics, France, and LATAM—and promoted internal product and strategic-accounts leaders to CPO and VP, signaling international push and upmarket sales motion. Engineering and operations shed headcount while sales (388 FTEs) closes the gap on engineering (512). Inbound talent trickles from Airtable, Amazon, Asana, Atlassian, and ClickUp (one each); 15 profiles now signal open-to-work.
