Three distinct islands. Eight MICHELIN Keys. We’re incredibly proud to see all three Soneva resorts recognised in the 2026 Michelin Guide Hotel Keys. Three MICHELIN Keys • Soneva Fushi • Soneva Secret Two MICHELIN Keys • Soneva Jani Opened in 2024, Soneva Secret is the only new hotel in Asia to debut with Three MICHELIN Keys this year. Soneva Fushi retains its Three Keys for a second consecutive year, while Soneva Jani once again holds Two. Behind every Key are our Hosts. The people who remember the smallest details, create moments no itinerary could plan and make each island feel unlike anywhere else. To every Host, guest-facing and behind the scenes: this recognition is yours. Three islands. Eight Keys. One Soneva. Just What Matters. #MICHELINKeys #MICHELINguide #Soneva #JustWhatMatters Neil Gallagher Abhishek Sharma Joanna Flint Chris Whitehouse Akira Shiota Pieter Van Der Hoeven Ishaan Singh Antony Paton FIH

Lenovo and MemryX Inc. have signed an MoU to advance sovereign Edge AI in Saudi Arabia, building on deployments already underway in the Kingdom. The platform processes video and sensor data where it is generated, helping organizations keep their data under their control while reducing the need to move large volumes of information to centralized infrastructure. Under the agreement, Lenovo and MemryX will expand deployments across infrastructure, industrial operations, smart cities and video management.

HYROX has "built a genuine global community around a brand new format," my colleague Miray Topay says, in a news release announcing L Catterton’s investment in the company. I can attest to that. L Catterton's teams in Asia have participated in HYROX relay races in China and Singapore, and experienced that for ourselves. What began as teambuilding endeavors did not just bring us together and culminate on race days, but also sparked subsequent autonomous participation in double and individual races. Since completing the race, many who did not consider themselves sporty have also gained the confidence and motivation to embark on a journey to become fitter – more runs, utilization of gym memberships, etc. This highly engaged consumer and year-round ecosystem – coupled with the substantial whitespace containing room for further penetration – provides HYROX with a significant runway for growth. Being the creator of the hybrid racing category and having generated extraordinary momentum across the world, it is well positioned for further expansion. Add L Catterton's extensive experience building brands in the fitness, wellness, and experience space into the mix, and there is an exciting value creation play to be made. Kudos to colleagues across Europe, the US, and Asia for completing this transaction. News Release – https://lnkd.in/gAG7ANWS

I had the great honour of attending graduate school in the USA on a scholarship generously provided by the Kennedy Memorial Trust, the official British national memorial to US President John F. Kennedy, founded in 1964. Which is why I particularly enjoyed a full circle moment in my recent interview with David M Rubenstein, co-founder of The Carlyle Group and a leader in patriotic philanthropy: the application of his business acumen and the fruits of its success to promoting public service. To encourage others to work at the intersection of business, government and non-profit organizations, David established a fellowship in 2008 for joint degree students at the Harvard Kennedy School and my alma mater, Harvard Business School. Here is the moment, where David shares whether he would run for public office … and his admiration for JFK.

Last year at LEAP 2025, we signed a strategic partnership with iot squared. In less than a year, that partnership has already taken us across multiple national-scale projects - and none of it would have happened without the trust, confidence, and opportunities given to us. We have valued every lead, every opportunity, and every project. From working with the region’s largest telco and giga projects to tackling complex national challenges, we are incredibly proud to play a part in Saudi Vision 2030 - bringing AI-powered city-scale 3D mapping, spatial intelligence, and our 720° AI camera technology into real-world deployments. Today, those capabilities are no longer just being used project by project. WORLD BUILDER and POLYTRON ONE are now being embedded into their core technology stack and solutions. Even now, it still feels a little unreal. To be working alongside one of the largest technology and telecommunications groups in the region, and with some of the best digital solutions and IoT experts in Saudi Arabia, is something we do not take for granted. This is a partnership we truly value - and one we hope to keep building for many years to come. And you know why this partnership feels so unshakable? Because we earned it the hard way - through dedication, resilience, and a team that never stopped thinking, building, and delivering. We worked around the clock - 996, 24/7. Weekends, late nights, constant travel - whatever it took to get the job done. We are not your typical Singapore company. :-) This is a battle-hardened team with world-class talent from Singapore, China, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. And that is the culture we have built together: build it, deploy it, make it work, and keep pushing forward. 🚀 Work-life balance? Maybe not during this chapter. 😅 But that intensity, trust, and shared commitment are exactly what turned a partnership into something much stronger. Saudi Arabia × Singapore. Technology × Execution. Vision × Scale. 🇸🇦 × 🇸🇬 🤝 🚀 Othman AlDahash Shabbab Al-ghamdi Yousef Abed Kamal Taman Obay Muhalhal Adnen SOMAI Ahmed AlKhidir Mohamed A.

25 years. Lots has happened in 25 years. I was a newlywed then. Since, I lost my father, gave birth to two children, moved to Asia, held the keys to 10 homes and collected a ridiculous number of stamps in my passports. Professionally, I left NYC reporting, became a correspondent for CBS’s National Morning Show, moved to Asia, ran a newspaper, reported for a magazine and eventually ran a nonprofit. So many lives lived. So many memories made. And yet, the morning of September 11, 2001 remains crystal clear. I suppose it always will. This summer, my teenage daughter asked to visit the 9/11 Museum. It was her first time. Somehow, seeing it through the eyes of my children made it harder. For those who don't know, I was a helicopter reporter above New York City that morning, reporting for the WB11 Morning News. We took off just seconds after the second plane hit. From high above the city, I watched my beautiful city under attack. For me, 9/11 was silent sobs and the whir of helicopter blades. It was finding my voice and holding onto my on-air presence while a part of me was dying inside. My saving grace? My stellar team in the air and on the ground. And I was terrified for my husband, who worked very close to the towers. When they came down, it looked from our vantage point as if all of lower Manhattan had disappeared. I was sure he was dead. Somehow, we kept reporting while waiting for news of the people we loved. I was lucky. My husband came home that night. Too many others didn't. Our team was nominated for an Emmy for our 9/11 coverage, and later won an Emmy for an anniversary piece. I also worked on "Covering Catastrophe: Broadcast Journalists Report 9/11" with proceeds still supporting the 9/11 Museum. 9/11 was a big part of my life. I think often about the days after 9/11. The world seemed to come together. People helped strangers and there were so many people doing good. I kept thinking about Mr. Rogers' mother, who told him that when bad things happen, look for the helpers. There were lots of helpers. 25 years later, it's harder. There is so much anger in the world. So much division. So much hatred. I worry about the world my children are inheriting. I don't ever want them—or anyone else's children—to see what I saw that day. Our camera was incredibly powerful. From 1,000 feet in the air, we could read a street sign. What I saw through that camera will never leave me. Never. I wish I could find Mr. Rogers' mother's glasses and see more of the good. Today, I'm just sad. But perhaps that is why we need the Golden Rule more than ever. Be kind. Look for the helpers. And when you can't find them, be one. The world needs them. The world needs us all to help where we can. Here is my story of that day - the piece that won an Emmy. https://lnkd.in/gMKmH5qy

It was a true pleasure to host Bob McCooey, Vice Chairman of Nasdaq, with my co-host David Wu.
