PagerDuty CEO Jennifer Tejada rang the bell of the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday after an exhausting coast-to-coast roadshow.
On April 1, PagerDuty launched its IPO roadshow. CEO Jennifer Tejada had to assure employees, customers and investors that this was no April Fool's joke.But over the next 11 days, leading up to the software company's debut on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, Tejada was committed to having fun amid the constant travel and sleep deprivation.
Tejada said that she sought advice from several of her Bay Area peers like Lawson, Okta CEO Todd McKinnon, DocuSign CEO Dan Springer and Eventbrite CEO Julia Hartz, who all took their companies public in recent years. Like most of those businesses, PagerDuty sells software subscriptions, though its niche is providing tools for developers to troubleshoot applications. Tejada got tips from those executives on how to prepare and maintain her stamina.
The analyst quickly learned Tejada's dietary preferences and always seemed to show up with a protein shake, soy latte or honey lemon tea whenever she most needed it between meetings. He also had antibacterial hand gel available after she shook a bunch of hands and had her sneakers ready to swap out with her high heels when she was walking between sessions.All that was in addition to the analyst's knowledge of every investos she was meeting.
One of the bankers picked from a prepared list of songs from artists like Blondie and Bonnie Raitt. Tejada said the night they were in Boston she and Wilson performed a duet to Lady Gaga's"Shallow" from the movie"A Star is Born," with Wilson doing a"pretty awesome" Bradley Cooper impression.
