With the blink of an eye… first FDIC in the books! I knew FDIC International was BIG, but WOW…. it was WAY MORE than a conference! 🚨 Loved seeing so many familiar faces— reconnecting with friends, mentors, thoughtleaders, including a few I haven’t seen since Squishy Robotics was first starting out; seeing in person those I have only had the opportunity to work with virtually until now; meeting new people passionate about innovation in public safety. 🚨 Motivated and inspired more than ever by the energy and dedication of everyone working toward the common mission of service— the First Responders serving and keeping their communities safe, as well as the technology providers developing innovative solutions in service of helping First Responders do their jobs safer, better, faster. 🚨 Excited about new partnerships and integrations— ad hoc demonstrations of integrated capabilities between technology solutions and discussions about further partnerships to meet First Responder needs. 🚨 Renewed sense of admiration and respect for First Responders— the sacrifices they make in service of their communities and the risks they face each day. The 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb was definitely an emotional reminder and humbling to watch.

I’ve never been a Brady fan, but these words resonate deeply as I think about the ECMO Community: "The truth is, you don't have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren't. Consistent, determined and willing to work for it. No shortcuts." In the world of ECMO, we see these qualities in action every single day. Teams are the epitome of consistency, determination, and hard work. Just like Tom Brady's teammates, it's impossible to find better examples of men and women who embody the work ethic, integrity, purpose, determination, and discipline it takes to be champions in life. ECMO specialists, you are heroes who show up every day, ready to save lives and make a difference. Your dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence inspire us all. Remember, it's not about being special—it's about being consistently extraordinary in your commitment to care. #ecmo #ecmospecialist #ecpr #perfusion #icunurse #nursing #respiratory #resporatorytherapist #criticalcare #perfusionist #healthcare

It’s the Father’s Day(s) time of year. A father son/daughter relationship is always going to be unique to each person and a common story in family businesses is when a son/daughter enters the fold, there is a transition over a number of years. For my father and myself the journey was different where I had the privilage of Co-Founding RSA Global together with him. So what? Why was it different? 1. While I was fresh out of university, my father had decades of experience. But both of us were starting at ground zero when it come to the supply chain industry. 2. He came with life experience, in a range of areas; relationship building, leading teams, financial structures, negotiation and years of well honed gut instinct. I came with hunger and energy to make a difference and albeit blue sky thinking of how great companies are built in todays time. 3. Where I give most credit to my father is giving me space; making my first hire, how to price customers, going into partnerships that may not have been his style of creating value in the past. In this time and till today I have made A LOT of mistakes, and all he would say, what did you learn and how will you not do it again? When I look back and reflect, this is not such a common experience between many fathers and sons. Happy Fathers Day Ajay Shah! P.S. A photo from the vault, the day we launched RSA Global as a brand to our organisation.

Excited to announce that my partner, Dr. Jeffrey Benson Jr., and I are featured on the cover of the special Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) issue by Insurance Agents and Brokers (IAB)! As the Chair of the Board for Delaware, I am deeply honored by this recognition and the spotlight it places on the critical importance of DEI in our industry. DEI is more than a set of principles—it is the foundation of innovation, growth, and equitable opportunity. It’s about creating an industry where diverse perspectives are celebrated, everyone has fair access to opportunities, and inclusive environments allow all voices to be heard and valued. While some organizations are stepping back from their DEI initiatives, IAB is boldly leading the charge, demonstrating the tangible benefits these efforts bring to our industry and society. This is a pivotal moment for us to reaffirm our commitment to DEI and its role in shaping a stronger, more resilient industry. I urge all stakeholders to read this special issue, engage in the dialogue, and actively support DEI initiatives. Together, we can drive meaningful change and ensure a future where everyone thrives. Let's lead by example and champion the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion in all we do. #DEI #Leadership #Equity #Innovation #Inclusion #InsuranceIndustry #StakeholdersUnite Dr. Jeffrey T.
