Happy IPO Day!



It’s been a while coming, in fact they told me that the company was building up to go public on my first or second day in the office, but this Friday we officially went public on the New York Stock Exchange!
            As the ‘Cultural Ambassador’ for our office I had to get into work super early to cover the place in balloons, banners and decorations ready for celebrations throughout the day.
            Unfortunately the 9am NY bell (which our CEO was in New York to ring in person) wasn’t happening until the evening Singapore time, so whilst we had a couple of small local celebrations I was not around to watch the bell being run on the TV link that I got set up for the rest of the office to enjoy.
            I watched the events unfold via social media whilst waiting at the airport with Nick for our flight out to Phuket, but it was a very exciting day for our company, and hopefully is the start of great things, but I suppose that only time will tell!
