Original post

We are honored to welcome Bob Iger back to Thrive. Bob leads with boldness and conviction because he knows what he is building and why. He is rejoining Thrive at a time when that kind of leadership matters most. We are living through the most consequential technology shift of our lifetimes, where AI will democratize access to intelligence in the way the internet democratized access to information. The companies that matter most will not just deploy the most advanced technology. They will understand what their customers truly want and place human judgment, taste, and craft at the center of what they build. Few people understand this as profoundly as Bob does. He has spent his career proving the things that feel the most human can also be the most eternal. Just as important, Bob embodies one of the firm’s core values; it is not just the business that we do, but how we do our business that will ultimately define our impact. We are deeply grateful to have him back and look forward to building together.
