Dear Michael,
Wishing you an amazing year (or more 😉) ahead. Most people disappear for a week and come back with a few photos — you’ve gone for the full upgrade and chosen to travel for as long as you can.
Thank you for being such a great person to work with and for. Even when times were very tough and difficult decisions had to be made, they always seemed fair. I always felt that you had our backs covered.
On a personal level, you were also very understanding when my now not-so-little ones came along (I somehow seem to have spent most of your tenure in London on maternity leave 🤣) — an understanding and support that I’ve seen replicated time and again during your time as CEO.
Have an incredible time, and don’t forget us while you’re off living everyone else’s dream.
All the very best,
Kristina
