Here are some of my thoughts and observations:

• Consumer tech ecosystem - Super Apps in China
• “Made in China” - From Imitation to Innovation
• Growth and Consumption - Two side of the same coin

Chicago in July

“Treat your career like mastering a craft, sharpening the axe.”

Great week of learning in Chicago last month.

Here are 3 takeaways that stayed with me:

1. Mindset of mastery - There’s always something to learn, and becoming 1% better every day compounds.

2. Collaboration is a superpower - Connecting with colleagues worldwide reminds me there’s so much we can learn from each other.

3. Win with AI - AI is transforming how we work, and those who embrace it will not only become more productive but lead the way

Incredible experience at Barcelona! 🇪🇸

Visited the Barcelona office and it was amazing to connect with the energetic team - sharing learnings and best practices across regions in the office with wonderful views of the city.

Knowledge is truly power when it’s shared.

Also spent time admiring the city’s architecture and exploring the culture through food.

Grateful for this cross-cultural experience, which is not only valuable for personal growth but also strengthens our collaborations

• Don’t differentiate between good and bad pain because they are equal.

• Fear uncertainty and thus stop solving problems
