I hope my niece makes the cut. She moved to NY for an Etsy job in the last year.

Hi,
I’m Josh, Etsy’s new CEO. I’ve served on Etsy’s board since November and I’m thrilled to be leading this amazing company.
I believe deeply in the power of creativity and the unique role Etsy plays in reimagining commerce. Whether you're a hobbyist or professional, I’m focused on making Etsy the best place for you to sell your products.
I’ll build on Etsy’s strong foundation, with a singular focus on bringing more buyers to your shop. That’s my top priority. The best way to do that is by creating great buyer experiences and deeply understanding your needs.
My first step will be listening and learning. In that spirit, please join me for my first Q&A in the Etsy Forums on Thursday, May 11. Check the Forums on Monday to find out how to participate. And thanks to everyone who’s already shared their ideas with me.
You’re a critical part of Etsy’s success and I’m excited to work alongside you to make this the world’s best platform for creative entrepreneurs.
Thank you,
 
Josh Silverman
CEO, Etsy


Mr. Mackin
