Today, we're excited to share that <Human id="aneil-singh"/> is joining the team.

Aneil is based in Toronto and has been a 3x Founding AE most notably at Shopify, Deel (Enterprise), and Magic Labs. We're beyond excited about the future of this new sales motion!

## More about Aneil

**How did you get into software?**

While studying finance in university, I was pretty convinced I'd end up going down the corporate banking path after graduation. Then in my final year, I took a Sales Management course that completely changed how I thought about sales and what it actually meant to build a career in it.

From that point on, I put my finance plans on hold (spoiler alert, I never went back) and started looking for an entry-level sales role after graduating

That decision led me to a Founding AE role (originally called Sales Hacker) at a small Canadian tech startup. That startup turned out to be Shopify.

I spent some of my most formative years there, learning the ins and outs of software sales and getting a front-row seat to what it looks like to scale from a small startup into a publicly traded company. It’s now been 10 years since I first got into software and it's easily been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

**What does your desktop/home screen look like?**

**Why are you at Resend?**

When you combine an incredible product with exceptional people, it's very hard to say no. Resend has all the ingredients of a once in a generation company. The chance to join this rocketship as a Founding Account Executive feels like a rare career-defining opportunity.

Nearly every company in the world relies on email. I'm genuinely excited to be at the forefront of making that experience as seamless as possible.

**Favourite place to visit?**

Toronto has been home for almost my entire life and I can’t get enough of it. There are so many neighborhoods, events and things to do. I always feel like I’m exploring some new area, trying a new restaurant, meeting new people, and I hope I get to experience that forever.

**Favourite Tool**

Whether it’s HubSpot, Salesforce, or Attio, I really appreciate a clean, well-run CRM. It’s usually the platform I spend the most time with, so I want to make sure it works smoothly and is easy to use.

**Favourite Hotkey?**

Cmd + C / Cmd + V will never go out of style


**Where do you find #inspiration?**

All over! Anything that anyone does that is truly exceptional can provide a huge boost of inspiration in my life.

Whether it's an amazing meal at a restaurant, or seeing a developer ship a huge product update, anything done well inspires me. I once saw a truck driver parallel park an 18-wheeler and I still think about that for motivation.
