So we've been doing that for many years. And now with AI, we're well positioned to play offense on AI, We had a new AI-driven order type that came into the markets last year. It actually more than doubled the volume in that particular order type. We've launched GenAI co-pilots across our solutions in the software space.

And so because we've been willing to, frankly, take a risk, help our clients take risks, we're now deploying that, by the way, that trade lifecycle technology across the markets in the world. We're moving markets to cloud. It's super cool. It actually is allowing us to be not a disruptor, but a leader, I would say, in helping them manage to the future. And that's how we see our role today.

Yeah. Well, first, we are extremely fortunate to have a lot of long-tenured talent here. And it's really special. So I think the first thing is... We are a mission-driven company and we want people who believe. So we say we want missionaries, not mercenaries, right?

So we want people who really believe in the mission of what Nasdaq does in terms of economic progress, being the trusted fabric to the world's financial system is our vision. And we want everyone to believe in that and be a part of that. And we live it every day. So they do feel that they're part of something important. The second thing is we have global talent.

So we are not wedded to a country or a city. We have talent across the US, across all of the world. We have talent in I think more than 50 countries, but we have defined centers of excellence around the world that allow us to draw talent from around the world. And that I think is obviously hugely beneficial. And we know how to do that at scale.

And then I think that also we really believe in that culture of bringing diverse points of view and diverse backgrounds together in a performance culture and allowing people to stand up and come up with ideas and be a challenger, but also in a respectful way, let's make sure we channel that into decisions and we go forward as a team. So that's kind of the culture we also bring here too.

Yeah. So I think everything starts with the client. I have always said that if you only look to the left and the right and you look at what your competitors are doing, you're not actually reaching your full potential. Because they may not be very good at what they do.
