After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @MagnumGlobal #FreeBenAndJerrys

What a great evening! I did not expect such a diverse program. Still flashed from all this happening in the philharmonic which is one of my favorite buildings in Berlin and has awesome acoustic capabilities. Also, thank you, @Sampleconstruct for a great performance! #strom23
