Twilio Inc chief executive officer Jeff Lawson said the company is sticking with remote work, even as many tech peers push employees to return to the office.
“We’re going to embrace being a distributed company,” Lawson said in an interview. While periodic in-person events are important, “we can treat folks as responsible adults, focus on the work outcome and output,” he said.
