Culture
Our founding team has extensive experience in building and growing high-throughput organizations. Mysten will be no different — we will execute in parallel on a full pipeline of projects in various stages: research, development, productization, and growth. In everything we do, we will apply the scientific and engineering rigor required to create trustworthy systems that operate in an adversarial environment.

Tope Awotona Founder, Chief Executive Officer Prior to Calendly, Tope spent the majority of his career in enterprise software sales, working for companies such as IBM, Perceptive Software, and Dell Technologies. He grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, and came to the US in 1996. Tope graduated from The University of Georgia with a degree in Management Information Systems and currently resides in Atlanta and New York City. When not fine-tuning and perfecting Calendly, he’s probably LOLing at a standup comedy club, (occasionally) showing up for CrossFit, or dreaming about a tropical vacation
