Can’t imagine a better closing to the Masters of Scale Summit than the 42nd President of the United States Bill Clinton sharing his tenets of wisdom with us. He reminded us that we all do better when we work together. Our differences do matter, but our common humanity matters more. Feeling charged up and ready to go. The best is yet to come! #WowziTheWorld

Feeling inspired and hopeful after an amazing Masters of Scale Summit. Not often do we hear well known tech innovators, investors, business leaders, change makers and politicians speak authentically with vulnerability about the very difficult topics that divide us. These days much is at stake with global polarization, war and conflict and the many risks the AI opportunity carries with it. We heard loud and clear that we can bridge divides and drive impact if we step out of our bubbles and expand our minds with empathy and understanding. And, we were reminded that what ultimately matters is love for others, our planet and oneself: just do good! Best speakers and best audience ever: a genuine excitement among all to connect and have meaningful conversations. Thank you Jeff Berman, Taryn Fixel Jodine Dorce and the entire WaitWhat team for inviting me to participate. What a beautifully curated and executed Masters of Scale Summit ❤️ #MoSsummit

A great moment at the Masters of Scale Summit: Chewy CEO Sumit Singh presents Exos CEO Sarah Robb O'Hagan with a portrait of her dog Eddie, to cap a discussion on building loyalty from your customers, your team, your investors.
Hands up anyone who's ever spoken on a panel for work, and been joined in the moment by their dog?! It's not something I ever expected to do.... I am still smiling from ear to ear about the moment, this morning during the Masters of Scale summit, when I was having a lovely chat with Sumit Singh the CEO of Chewy and Bob Safian the host of Rapid Response about customer centricity. Anyone who knows the team at Chewy knows that they CRUSH the concept of "surprise and delight". And right there on stage they proved it once again - presenting me with a hand sketched photo of my amazing pup Eddie! Can we talk about how handsome my Eddie is?! I am a loyal customer for life now. You are quite brilliant Sumit...! This story is not over yet.... stay tuned.... #MosSummit #MomentsThatMatter #TeamExosLoveOurDogs #GreatnessIsATeamSport
