Congrats @apoorva_mehta @fidjissimo and the whole Instacart team…as an observer from afar for a long time it’s super impressive what you built. Many won’t ever appreciate the complexity you had to overcome in grocery they will just enjoy the magic which is what makes it great!.
Today, the company I founded in my kitchen is now publicly traded ($CART)! I’m immensely grateful to the team that built @instacart. I also want to thank the hard-working community of shoppers, our incredible customers, our retail and CPG partners and our CEO @fidjissimo.

@JeffBezos consistently crafted the most insightful letters. His 2000 letter, filled with clarity and optimism despite challenges, deeply resonated with me. I thought I understood writing before joining Amazon, but his work and direct feedback transformed my approach. Grateful.

What the teams built here is simply remarkable. The Amazonians and the thousands of amazing entrepreneurs who built their delivery service businesses alongside Amazon the last few years scaled a physical and technical infrastructure at a velocity that is truly unprecedented.
SCOOP: Amazon has quietly surpassed UPS & FedEx as the largest parcel delivery company in the U.S. This was once considered impossible, with one logistics CEO calling the notion of Amazon ever emerging as a real competitor "fantastical." @estherfung.

@abarrallen @dwarkesh_sp @natfriedman The best operators obsess over what is broken and something is ALWAYS broken. The glass is also always half empty in operator land…but the best of the best still believe if they just keep grinding and innovating they can win. Is the masochistic virtuous cycle of operators….

Mary was such a gift to those of us who had the great privilege to work with and be taught by her. Such a powerful force in the direction of my career at UTK and beyond. On top of that she was just a remarkable person that was a joy to be around. Miss you Dr. Holcomb.
Last week @HaslamUT's Department of Supply Chain Management celebrated the life and accomplishments of the late #SCM professor, Mary C. Holcomb. Mary’s research and teaching had a meaningful and far-reaching impact on the field of supply chain management.
