And that’s a wrap! Since joining Square ~three months ago, it’s been an exciting whirlwind—meeting our teams and customers around the world, and aligning on our strategy for the year ahead. Last week, I had a blast in Sydney with our Australia and Japan teams, and the week before, I was in the Bay Area with our US & Canada teams. We connected, talked strategy, and dove deep with our sales, partner, and product teams. Best of all, I had the chance to spend time with local businesses, learning firsthand why they love Square, how they use it, and where they see new opportunities for growth. I'm beyond grateful for the incredibly talented humans I get to work with, and soooo excited about everything we have in the works for the future! Speaking of which, supporting local restaurants remains a key priority for us. In the past few months, I’ve loved seeing our team in action. We launched our Big in Restaurants campaign, which included Square’s largest print campaign to date—featuring full-page ads in The New York Times and The LA Times. In these ads, we celebrated some of the incredible local restaurants that make our communities thrive. To make it even more special, we surprised each restaurant with a framed copy of their ad, hand-delivered for them to hang up inside their business. So many smiles! We also released our latest quarterly restaurant report, diving into key topics shaping the industry—from inflation to wages and beyond. 2025 is shaping up to be even bigger for restaurants, retailers, beauty and service providers, and more... so stay tuned! ✨
