Bay Area Green Room

Founder of Oakland’s Pandora Talks About Leadership

gracewoods — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 17:04:58 +0000

Grace was lucky enough to interview Tim Westergren of the personalized internet radio company Pandora for her leadership class. We’ve posted the whole interview here, unedited. There are no Bay Area Green Room shout outs, but since Tim founded this company in Oakland and it’s of profound interest to our community here, we thought you might enjoy it. Pandora and more background on Tim can be found at pandora.com.
