OMG, I LOVE US!!! - the First FreeWheel Beijing Office Anniversary

We celebrated yet another significant milestone for FreeWheel last week, the first FreeWheel Beijing office anniversary. Andrea and Minglu decorated the office with balloons, Kevin's wife ZhiQian sent us a beautiful flower basket. It was said that she even sent a clown to deliver the gift, however, I missed the performance due to meeting...The flower basket is amazing though.



I took the team to 中8楼 for dinner, a place famous for the regional cuisine from YunNan province. We had the highest turn out, 39 FreeWheelers and 7 family members joined us. The cuisine was nice and interesting. 

I feel like we have been celebrating milestones one after another. We just recently celebrated a live traffic volume milestone, and everybody got their first edition of the FreeWheel hat - Love the hat, BTW...We also reached more new customer milestones, Doug has been pretty good at sending new contract updates until now, he is falling behind because we are closing more and more deals in record speed - Love the joke when Mike responded Doug's "new contract" update with "Unsubscribe"...Needless to say we just had our first leadership offsite at FreeWheel headquarter when all of those were happening. 

I have to admit, it has been so much fun founding and running FreeWheel, it has been so much fun building a team from ground up and seeing it grows, it has been so much fun creating a product from scratch and seeing it scales up, it has been so much fun witnessing what this team has accomplished and celebrating milestones along the way...

Just as I said in the email to the entire company:"...
The best part about building FreeWheel is waking up every morning with a smile and looking forward to another miracle in the making by this amazing team!...OMG, I LOVE US!!!..." - And I DO!

- Happy one year anniversary, FreeWheel Beijing office!

    A year and a half in FreeWheel by Hideto:
    "总的来说,在FreeWheel工作让我非常满意,和优秀的人在一起能让自己更优秀。把自己的青春奉献在FreeWheel我毫不后悔。"

    Can't help applauding the beautify sequence by Snow, looking forward to the next one!

    One quarter in FreeWheel:
    "整个team给我的感觉就是每个人都有一种责任感,有一种要把产品做好的责任感。而这种责任感的产生我觉得是源于公司营造出的一种归属感的氛围,让每个人都觉得我在FW的付出非常的值得。"

    "三个月之前,我说过时间能够证明当初选择FW是否是正确的。三个月之后,我感觉自己是幸运的,因为我对人生当中的一些重大的决定的抉择大部分时候都是正确的,这次也一样,我相信选择FW将是人生一个新的阶段的开始。"

    From Paradise:
    "看到新来的同事对公司评价很好,自己觉得很高兴。再有8天,我加入FreeWheel也满一周年了。很享受在这里工作。套用我们老板Diane的话:OMG, I LOVE US!!!"
    Including his latest "八卦贴", can't help laughing when I read it...

    From Kevin:
    "2009年,无论是对于FreeWheel发展还是团队的成长,放眼看去,困难和挑战不少。但只要想起身边勤奋、敬业、聪明、具有高职业操守的同事们我就信心百倍。:)"

    Finally, I am finishing up this collection with the happy memories that I missed:

    Cowboy from San Mateo office, must have been a great birthday gift, Jon!
