Welcoming Linda Tong, CEO of Webflow, to our board

An occupational hazard of being CEO is having to attend a lot of events, many of which are… less than useful.

But a couple of years ago, I attended a dinner hosted by Mallun Yen, and was very fortunately seated next to Linda Tong. Before the appetizers hit the table, I was peppering her with questions and learning more about how she was navigating growth at Webflow.

In the time since, Linda has been gracious with her time and advice as Hex has been growing. I’ve come to count on her for honest opinions and hard-earned perspective – and so it felt incredibly obvious to ask her to come aboard as our first independent board director.

Linda has a broad and fascinating background, having led product at the NFL, served as a GM at AppDynamics, and now as CEO of Webflow. She brings a rare blend of product instinct, go-to-market savvy, and real-world leadership that makes her the perfect fit to help Hex in our next era. She knows what it takes to build not just great products, but enduring companies. Linda just gets it — the builder mindset, the storytelling, the stakes — and we couldn’t be more excited to have her in our corner.
