Today marks 50 years since the iconic Beatles album cover photo for Abbey Road was taken. To our lovely friends in the UK, it is "just another Zebra crossing," but when we visited a few years ago it was a magical place. When I am missing London I like to check out the live feed of the crossing located here: https://lnkd.in/ehc8rjU …see more

The funding balance side of this story is pretty pathetic. But one hopes that, at the very least, the efficiency demonstrated my female founders will lead to greater investment levels. #funding #startups #venturecapital

It was great to work with an outstanding video production team today. I am extremely thankful for our internal Marketing and Communications team and our external video partners, and Leadership supporting the importance of creativity!
