Braze

What drives real impact when it comes to making a difference in communities is the people who do the work, which is why we’re proud to celebrate the Braze ERG members who helped raise over $1.2M in lifetime grants to nonprofits around the world through our ERG Grand Program 🎉 Over the past four years, our employee resource groups (ERGs) have played a central role in directing funding to a wide array of non-profits and community initiatives. By empowering our ERGs to lead these decisions, we ensure our support reaches the diverse range of humanitarian and environmental causes that our people are most passionate about. But the impact goes beyond funding alone. Employees have volunteered alongside nonprofit partners, organized additional fundraising efforts, and created opportunities for learning and connection across our global community. 👉 Read the full blog to learn more about the program and the 43 nonprofits we supported this past year: https://lnkd.in/eNVwAuPr #BrazeLife #SocialImpact #EmployeeResourceGroups #CommunityImpact #GivingBack

Last week, we hosted the Women in Technology (WIT) community in Braze HQ in NYC for an evening of conversation, networking, and honest perspectives on leadership in today’s tech landscape. Our panel, “The Inflection Point: Women Leading Through Influence, Risk, and AI,” explored what it means to lead through moments of change, from navigating uncertainty and building influence to staying grounded as AI reshapes the way we work. Huge thank you to our speakers: 🎤 Sara Perle, CEO of Perle Strategies 🎤 Inge Konther, AVP of Customer Engagement at Sotheby's’s 🎤 Braze’s own Suzanne 🔎 Frush, Senior Product Manager, Del Patara, VP, Global Head of Business Development, and Amelia Billinger, Senior Communications Manager and panel moderator And thank you to everyone who joined us, asked thoughtful questions, and contributed to the conversation. Events like this are a reminder that some of the best career growth happens through community, connection, and people willing to share what they’ve learned 💜 #BrazeLife  #WomeninTech #WomeninLeadership #TechLeadership #WTGC2026 #WomenInTechConnect

Every marketer’s been there: You want to send 1:1 messages to each customer, but sometimes end up with broad segments because writing the individual logic by hand is impossible. That’s the divide we’re closing today. Watch Braze Learning Team member and rockstar, Kai Williams, give a master class on moving from manual logic to Agentic AI. He demonstrates how to combine BrazeAI Operator™, Agent Console™, and Decisioning Studio™ to build a fully autonomous loyalty campaign that leads to better ROI all around.

Building strong communities starts with people who care deeply about creating them 💜 Last week, leaders from all 12 of our Employee Resource Groups gathered at Braze HQ in New York for our 2026 ERG Summit. Across 2.5 days, ERG leads collaborated, shared ideas, and planned for the future through sessions focused on storytelling, community leadership, and long-term growth. They also connected with company leaders, exchanged best practices, and had meaningful conversations with one another (sometimes over a delicious dinner) 🤝 Our ERGs are led by people who consistently go above and beyond to foster belonging and inclusion across Braze, and this summit was a celebration of that work and everyone behind it. #BrazeLife #ERG #EmployeeResourceGroups

Most companies talk about AI. Very few have actually figured out how to use it to move the needle. In the latest episode of Leaders of Code with Stack Overflow CTPO, Jody Bailey, Braze Co-Founder and CTO Jonathan Hyman shares the real-world blueprint he used to transition Braze to an "AI-first" mindset in just a few months. The highlights for any leader: ➡️ Stop giving mandates. Quality wins over skeptics faster than a top-down order. ➡️ Get real insights from an experiment that helped a team finish a project 6 weeks early by changing their rules. ➡️ Hear how Jon leveled to 60% of code at Braze is now AI-generated. ➡️ Dive into why vibe coding isn't the same as building with it, especially when you need to build at scale.

Belonging at Braze is something we build together. This AAPI Heritage Month, we’re spotlighting our Asians@Braze ERG, a community that brings people together to share culture, celebrate identity, and create space for meaningful connection. So far in 2026, that’s come to life through Lunar New Year celebrations with live lion dances, mahjong lessons, tea ceremonies, and employee-led moments that bring people closer together across our global teams. With a focus on both tradition and promoting cultural awareness, this group continues to play an important role in what belonging looks like at Braze. ➡️ Swipe through to hear from members and see some of the moments that make this community so special #BrazeLife #BelongingAtBraze #AAPIHeritageMonth #ERG
