Ryan O'Hara shared thisThanks so much, Rich and ACG. We are excited to be a part of ACG and proud to support our partners' most important programs. It's what we focus on every day. Appreciate the shout out.Ryan O'Hara shared thisGreat panel with our new ACG partner, Likewize, at the Mid-Year Conference in Atlanta. They’re redefining device protection as a complete program—not a point solution—integrating protection, digital care, and lifecycle services, with Apple-authorized repair baked in. The result: higher attach, lower churn, and a better customer experience. Execution matters—and Likewize delivers. Excited to welcome them as a partner.

It creates value all around: helping Samsung strengthen its ownership journey, giving customers an easier way to unlock value from used devices, supporting a more circular economy, and showing the kind of scale and execution Likewize brings to global programs like this. https://lnkd.in/ghC28hHg

Ryan O'Hara liked thisRyan O'Hara liked thisSpent yesterday at our Palo Alto office, home to 100+ teammates spanning engineering, product, data science, trust & safety, and the support roles that keep it all running. Kicked things off with an open "Ask Me Anything" with employees. No agenda, no scripted answers, just direct conversation, covering everything from growth and product strategy to how we're building for the future. Later in the day, I got to spend time with our Tinder interns, hearing what they're building and what they're curious about. Thanks to everyone who showed up, asked questions, and made it a great one!

Sir David Beckham exceeded our expectations as he shared the stage with CEO of Las Vegas Sands Corporation and Mavs Governor Patrick Dumont and masterful moderator G. Brint Ryan, CEO of Ryan who also served as Presenting Sponsor. It was a fascinating conversation about sports ownership, business and innovation and what lies ahead for the sports industry. Most memorable quote from David : “standards and values are non-negotiable”. Pictured with EDC Board Member and former AT&T CFO john stephens, Mavs CEO Rick Welts, Patrick and Linda.

Ryan O'Hara liked thisRyan O'Hara liked thisAt NBCUniversal, we're always focused on making our culture-defining content easier to discover by meeting consumers where they are. That's why expanding our partnership with YouTube is such an important milestone for our company.

Ryan O'Hara liked thisRyan O'Hara liked thisA heartfelt thank you to Ken Hao, Chairman of Silver Lake, for his fireside chat last week. Ken has spent over 25 years helping to build Silver Lake into one of the defining forces in tech investing. Having an hour of his time and candor is not something you take for granted. We sat down in part to mark the launch of The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) Board Accelerator (TBA), an initiative to increase AAPI representation in corporate boardrooms. I appreciated his advice and insight on the initiative and on the others we touched on: - The impact of AI on tech investing - both risks and opportunities, from software to chips. - Private credit and the road ahead. - Philanthropy, where Ken and his wife Kathy have been incredibly generous to University of California, San Francisco, UC Davis Weill School of Veterinary Medicine and other institutions and causes Thank you to everyone who joined us. Thank you to Ken and Kathy for your openness and generosity and our co-hosts J.P. Morgan Director Advisory Services (DAS), TAAF, and Asian Art Museum. #PrivateEquity #Philanthropy #AAPI

Appreciate the thoughtful coverage from Brent Wistrom and the Austin Business Journal on what we’re building at Circuit and why this moment matters. Manufacturers and service teams are facing a real expertise gap as products grow more complex and experienced people retire faster than they can be replaced. Our focus is simple: help companies scale the technical knowledge that drives daily decisions, from quoting and configuration to field service and support. Proud of the team for the work behind this next chapter and grateful to be building alongside customers and partners here in Austin.
