Maybe just to start, would be great to get a bit of a feeling for your kind of overall journey in terms of your career coming kind of from Vancouver, Hong Kong, and now kind of in a very global role looking at the, the tech scene in all corners of the globe.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's been, it's been great.

Um, since I've been in Hong Kong for over 20 years, maybe closer to 30 years.

Um, I started my tech career there, uh, doing, uh, internet stuff, design, websites, startups, things like that, and it kind of, uh, parlayed into building community.

I think that was one thing that was a big thing for me in, uh, in Asia, was that a lot of startups and investors wanted to meet each other, and so just kind of building community around that.
