“Natasha is an excellent engineering leader. She works well with both younger, more junior teams where she serves as the technical design lead and with high-performing senior teams where she can take more of a hands-off role and step in on an as-needed basis. In my time partnering with Natasha at Box as engineering/product counterparts, I always felt that she effectively motivated her teams; held them accountable for deadlines they committed to; asked the right questions to drive product managers and other engineering leaders toward robust planning and implementation; and served as an empathetic leader, trusted and respected by her direct reports. I've witnessed Natasha both take on management of existing engineering teams and build new teams from scratch successfully. Not only is Natasha highly technically skilled and able to take tasks from her teams when they are overwhelmed, but also she is focused on building a strong team culture. She consistently invests in creating a collaborative environment for the individual contributors she supports. I felt comfortable bringing my concerns about a particular team or project up to her and trusted that she would address the issue appropriately, which she did. Natasha adapts is a pleasure to work with because she's smart, detail-oriented and kind. ”

MANAGING FLOW-BASED INTERACTIONS WITH CLOUD-BASED SHARED CONTENT
Issued US 20170048285
Systems for managing content in a cloud-based service platform. A server in a cloud-based environment is interfaced with storage devices that hold one or more stored objects accessible by two or more users. The stored objects comprise folders and files as well as other objects such as workflow objects that are associated with the folders or the files. The workflow objects comprise workflow metadata that describes a workflow as a set of workflow tasks to be carried out in a progression…
Systems for managing content in a cloud-based service platform. A server in a cloud-based environment is interfaced with storage devices that hold one or more stored objects accessible by two or more users. The stored objects comprise folders and files as well as other objects such as workflow objects that are associated with the folders or the files. The workflow objects comprise workflow metadata that describes a workflow as a set of workflow tasks to be carried out in a progression. Processing of a workflow task and/or carrying out a portion of the progression includes modification of shared content objects. The processing or modification events are detected through workflow events, which in turn cause one or more workflow responses to be generated. Workflow responses comprise updates to the workflow metadata to record progression through the workflow and/or workflow responses comprise updates to any one or more of the stored objects.

Systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating secure commenting on content items among collaborators via external messaging applications in a collaborative cloud-based environment. In one embodiment, the system receives a response to a notification associated with a content item from a collaborator via an external messaging application. The response can include a text-based comment associated with the content item and secure message information provided by the notification including a message and a message authentication code. The system then determines a validity of the response. The validity of the response can include verifying the integrity of the message using the message authentication code.
