    Out of curiosity, I checked her wikipedia page. How did she jump from a relatively regular tech career to CEO of BlueSky in 2 years?

      This is just my opinion.

      There were only 50 employees in BlueSky in 2021. She was probably one of the few people that started a company out of those employees. That’s what I got from her Wikipedia.

      I’m gonna guess is she is liked by her coworkers, she does well in presentations.

      Also bluntly, her background of being Chinese and Swiss is a good look if they plan on marketing internationally. Her age probably plays a big role. No one wants to follow a company with a CEO that’s too old or too young.
