LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky
"Pre-pandemic,~1% of all jobs posted on LinkedIn were remote. As of today, that number is ~14%...but that's not the fascinating part. What's fascinating is north of 50% of all job applications on a daily basis on LinkedIn go to that 14% of remote jobs"

Bought NewMe Accelerator a few years ago from @ABenton. It changed the trajectory of our organization.
Bought @BlackTechWeek from @FeleciaHatcher and @PearsonDerick. A similar outcome is GUARANTEED.
