As we celebrate our 10th anniversary today, we made some exciting announcements to mark the next phase of Circles’ growth as it strengthens its partnerships with leading telcos and pushes boundaries in innovation, customer experience, and digital transformation globally. In 2025, we will deepen our global presence by entering the North American market, leveraging our partnership with AT&T to drive transformation in one of the world’s most dynamic telco regions, and advancing our mission of global digital innovation. We will also spin off Jetpac as a high-growth venture under Circles. This strategic move, supported by a partnership with KDDI Corporation, positions Jetpac to expand in the multi-billion-dollar global travel-tech market and bring in more strategic partners. To bolster our leadership team as we expand business globally, we announced 4 strategic leadership appointments: Sanjay Kaul as Chief Revenue Officer, Deepak Gulati as President of Corporate and Industry Alliances, Aditya Goyal as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Jetpac, and Ashish Gupta as Vice President of Strategy and Business Development, Americas.

WHAT.A.WEEK at the Airvet Go To Market Offsite! I am so grateful to work with such innovative and creative folks who are mission-focused and always open to new ideas, creative solutions, and pushing the boundaries so we can help pets live their happiest, healthiest, and longest lives. Taryn Branca, Polydoros Sassos MBA, Katie Kerr, thank you for your leadership this week and giving the team the resources and support we need to drive success for our team & clients (both future and current). Hannah van der Vord, Sam Osborne, Lauren Eager exploring all of the work you're doing in your channels was fascinating and how they all interconnect and ladder-up to our goals was so fun. It was great to see all the hard work you've accomplished in 2024 and all you have left to do was absolutely invigorating. Joelle Rodenroth & Cecily Spikes...what is there to say!? You're both absolute powerhouses and I can't wait to keep celebrating your wins every week (because at this point, it is every week!). Thank you for always using marketing's email sequences, blogs, and social posts to bolster your amazing outreach. It means so much! Diving deeper into the foundational ops work Kristen Archer & Kayla Chabola do was fascinating (and I've never been so happy to see so many reports -- your work in Hubspot was used in almost every presentation!). The thoughtful work Jessica Snyder (she/her) and Kyle Lautan are doing to ensure our employer clients have an above-and-beyond experience was wonderful (and helps explain our insane 93 NPS!).

In such a fast-paced world, It is so easy to be head down in business and become siloed in one’s day-to-day job. But it is so important to remember the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Earlier this week we heard from Travelex CEO, Richard Wazacz on his approach to business alignment. Today, Kruti Patel Goyal, CEO, Depop shares some of her functional insights and reminds us about the importance of business connectivity.
