Check out the latest newsletter from #Operations Nation!
We've all heard of RevOps, People Ops, DevOps...but what about SnOps? Get reading our latest newsletter if you haven't guessed already (we bet it's taken you a while) mailchi.mp/operationsnation/… #opsofanything
A huge congratulations @ido_sum and @TLcomCapital! Thrilled to see even more capital invested in amazing African entrepreneurs.

So this happened. @TLcomcapital closed our 2nd fund, on track to $150m, making us all very happy. But capital is our tool, not our aim or claim to fame. Felt it’s a good time to #reflect on a few lessons from 10 years doing #AfricaVC & what's to come 🧵 tcrn.ch/3fYTiYH
I feel so honored to have moderated a wonderfully insightful Fireside Chat with @PickensAllison (Former COO of @GainsightHQ) and @haridigresses (CEO of @AbstractOpsCo) at the @opsntn cONference last month. #OpsIsTops
Super fun to serve on a panel recently with the incredible @PickensAllison, at @opsntn. Two tidbits: - Scaling yourself as an "operator" (and your company as a result) - Operators' job is increasingly to glue together blocks of a "composable enterprise" allisonpickens.substack.com/…
