Today 8/20 is my first day at Fidelity Investments in Boston. Thank you to all the colleagues at Fidelity for your warm welcome and for being generous with your time. I certainly have a steep learning curve, but plenty of exciting opportunities ahead. Can't wait!!
Monday 8/17/20 was my last day at Thomson Reuters. What started as an internship, ended up being a rewarding and (hopefully) impactful 25 year career. To my friends at TR, thank you! It has been an honor and a privilege. Be well and my very best wishes #thomsonreuters

I don't know about you, but the #lockdown2020 made me realize that going to restaurants/eating-out is a big part of my family's social life. Going forward, I need to diversify my 'social portfolio'.
Very much enjoyed the session. Thank you @trendsgroup for organizing and hosting. Thank you to my fellow panelists for an excellent discussion and for saving lives. I don't get to say that often in this context. I admire and appreciate what you do!
@trendsgroup, Director General, @MohamedAlali72, thanks all the participants of the E-Discussion on #ArtificialIntelligence and #Covid-19; @muniernazzal, @Surgisphere, @KKofahi, @konrad_karcz:

Very much enjoyed the session. Thank you to the speakers for a fascinating discussion and thank you for literally saving lives. I don't get to say this to my fellow panelists often!

Let’s talk about fairness, Mitch.
NYS puts $116 billion more into the federal pot than we take out.
Kentucky TAKES $148 billion more from the federal pot than they put in.
But we don't deserve help now because the 15,000 people who died here were predominately democrats?
hmm... if this is the 'A Team' , how does the B-team look like?

cnn.com/2020/04/21/health/hy…. Too bad. But a reminder that statements like "What do you have to loose? Try it" and "I am not a doctor, but I have common sense" (Mr. Trump) are simply irresponsible.
A fantastic article with spot on insights/quotes. "The AI that delivers explosive growth often is not that sophisticated". My experience: focus on creating customer value not advanced algorithms. Complexity does not equal customer value hbr.org/2020/01/competing-in…
Another spot on article by @Mark_MarkHaddad that combines data, insights and practical advice for #SmallLawFirms. Nicely done!
How can #SmallLawFirms get an edge even amid the current crisis? Realize that the way potential clients view & consume information has shifted and that your firm needs to embrace a digital & online identity now @Mark_MarkHaddad @wjjosten @thomsonreuters tmsnrt.rs/2yHM5tq
Very much looking forward to the Law and Technology Demos tonight (there is time to register :-) ). A chance to learn from others and share my perspective. Thank you @DanLinna for inviting me. Exciting! #legaltech #NorthwesternU #thomsonreuters.

An article highlighting @thomsonreuters collaboration with the @VectorInst on solving NLP challenges at scale. Really good to see such collaboration across several companies on solving relevant problems.
@jduprey just pointed out that I did not include a link to the article. After a few weeks WFH, it seems I am losing it :-). Here is the link vectorinstitute.ai/2020/04/0…
