Join us for this exciting webinar hosted by Larissa Maranhao Rocha, Chief Community Officer at Brex, a financial service and technology company based in San Francisco, California.

In July 2020, Brex transitioned to being a remote-first company. This change required a shift in how they needed to communicate across the company. Out of this shift came the written or 'memo-culture' which Brex abides by today.

Every decision at Brex is formulated as a memo. Anyone in the company can access and understand the driving forces behind a decision. This shift to a 'memo-culture' has not been easy, but it has proved very worthwhile in the long run as everyone at Brex is more informed and equipped to bring about change. Larissa will expound further on our 'written-culture.'
