Leadership Development at PayPal HQ
50+ senior Product and Design leaders. One powerful theme: leading through change.
On May 15th, we partnered with PayPal and leadership coach Teresa Brazen to host one of our most impactful events yet: ‘Leadership Development: A Collaborative Approach to Inspiring Leadership and Driving New Technology Adoption.’


Held at PayPal HQ in NYC, we welcomed a powerhouse group of Product, Design, and Engineering leaders to explore what it means to lead with intention in the face of constant change.
What went down:
- A hands-on coaching workshop with Teresa Brazen
- A live panel featuring PayPal’s Mark Kozlowski, Nick Ward, and Richard Porter, Adobe’s TB Bardlavens and Rania Svoronou from Citi.
- Big conversations around cross-functional leadership and tech adoption
- Drinks, laughter, and new relationships that we know will last
A massive thank you to Teresa for the powerful facilitation, and to PayPal for being incredible partners and generous hosts.
Shout out to our very own Kim, Andy, and Gary for flying out and representing TDA in the best possible way.
And to all our guests, thank you for your energy, honesty, and wisdom. You turned this event into something truly special!
