“It’s been and continues to be a lot of fun this journey,” he continued. “There’s always hard turns to burn when we work, but doesn’t feel as hard when you love what you do and when you know you have great material and the support at all sides, of a great team. Surrounded by talented and passionate departments and when surrounded by people you love and care about it doesn’t get any better.”

“Your instincts are always spot on,” he said addressing Marcel. “First class — I back you. 100%. As always. And I absolutely love working with you and watching you take on bigger challenges every time.”
