This makes us so happy!
Some of WITSEND Community’s Product and Tech group met up in person last night to cover topics ranging from AI tool mash-ups to team communication. Great to see so many experienced CPOs, CTOs and digital leaders in one place, sharing notes and strengthening connections. Thank you to Maud Larpent and Treatwell for hosting and to Caroline Parnell and Kate Janssen, CFA for organising 🤗 Heard some great quotes from Yuelin Li Georgie Smallwood Mel McVeigh among others

Fantastic to see these 4 AI gurus on stage sharing their knowledge with the world at SXSW.
Yuelin Li, Haibo E, Kate Janssen, CFA and I had a whole lot of fun speaking about the future of #AI, its impact on industry at #SXSW2024 last week. What a joy to be part of a panel of such insightful people and to delve into the spicy questions of how to build AI responsibly, its transformative effects across industries, and the future of work.

Congratulations to Witsend co-founder Lisa Rodwell on her awesome new role as GM North America at ZOE. A great combination!
It's particularly exciting for me to announce that I'm joining ZOE on this international women's day. Here's a short video featuring just a few of my new ZOE colleagues in honor of international women's day. I will be focused on growing and building the brand and business in the US market. I've included a link to ZOE and the ZOE podcast in the comments for all my American (and British) friends to explore the ZOEverse. If you have any questions or are interested in trying ZOE, please DM me. One last fun fact, ZOE was founded by Professor Tim Spector and Yahoo! alumni Jonathan Wolf and George Hadjigeorgiou. 🌎 #womenshealth #longevity #healthtech #foodforthought #personalizednutrition

Congratulations to Maria Raga on her new role at Creandum. What a win for the portfolio!
Delighted to join Creandum as a Venture Partner here in London! I first met Fredrik in 2015 when he led the investment in Depop and the relationship has been a special one, nearly a decade now. Creandum is a VC fund which has invested in some of Europe’s leading companies such as Klarna, Spotify, iZettle and Bolt. We both share a belief that there should be more global European born businesses. We have the talent, the funding and the role models. We are ready! I am really looking forward to working with the Creandum team on building organizations which rock and last and in identifying the next industry leaders. https://lnkd.in/e9JBgtWP
