Bessemer alumni are in congress, founding billion dollar companies, running funds, and now, winning gold medals for @TeamUSA! Congrats, @FaulknerKristen! @BessemerVP
Outstanding performance by my former colleague @FaulknerKristen who won Gold for team USA in cycling yesterday! A first win for the US in 40 years! Also can’t resist sharing, with great pride, that she started her career as an analyst at @BessemerVP
In grad school, I worked part time at @lululemon (retail, not corporate).
I learned more about business from that part time job folding & selling yoga pants than any other job I had. ❤️
Here’s what they did differently:
As a medical school professor, I spoke yesterday at a #upenn session with President, Provost and others.

The House could take it up next week. It has the votes to pass.

It’s entirely reasonable to simultaneously:
-Stand with Israel,
-Condemn Hamas’ terroristic slaughter of Israelis & Americans,
-Demand the release of Israeli and US hostages, and
-Express concern re: innocent civilian Palestinian & Israeli lives.
We can do this.
We are horrified and deeply saddened by the terrorist attacks against Israel and its people. The violence, devastation and terror are unfathomable. Supporting our team, our founders and their employees in the region is currently our top priority.
We condemn the violence and terrorism against the Israeli people and stand in broad support of Israel and our friends, colleagues, and partners in the country.

I stand it with Israel as she seeks to defend herself.
Imagine terrorists armed with machine guns invading your community and home, searching for people to murder and abduct.
If your community and home were invaded, if your family, friends, and neighbors were murdered, wounded, and taken hostage, what would you expect your government to do?
Those who insists Israel do nothing in the face of terror are holding the Jewish State to a dangerous double standard that no other country, including our own, would ever accept.
