  • Our annual Women in Leadership Summit was another big success this year, a gathering of senior women leaders from across our portfolio for a few inspiring days of strategic sessions and powerful networking. Among many standout moments:   ✨ In sharing her incredible journey, keynote speaker Leigh Segall, CEO of Smart Communications. inspired our audience through her personal stories of growth and reinvention while scaling and leading a world-class company. 🥇 We had the honor of hearing from Olympic gold medalist Benita Fitzgerald Mosley, OLY, who shared her proven framework on how to imagine and achieve the impossible, the very same mindset that helped her cross the finish line first at the Olympics, in business, and beyond. 🤲💞We capped off with a community service project supporting a local shelter and resource for women — a reminder that we can all do our part to uplift others with support and opportunities. We’re proud to work alongside such inspiring women and grateful for the insights, energy, and leadership they bring to the AKKR network. #AdvanceYourJourney #growth

  • Recently, Accel-KKR brought together our portfolio technology leaders on two occasions to dive deep into timely topics around AI in engineering, tech modernization, and scale and productivity at a global level as companies grow. At AKKR’s AI in Engineering Summit, top engineers representing nearly fifty portfolio companies came together from all over the world for two days of deep technical exchange and demos, as well as discussions around vision, governance and strategic investments. The conversations and demos offered real-time learnings, real-world insights and an honest look at what’s working. The energy was high, and the takeaways were actionable. We also took a trek to Seattle where Amazon Web Services (AWS) hosted our leaders to explore a wide range of themes —from cloud strategy and modernization to global scalability, cost efficiency, and developer productivity. We’re proud to support our executive leaders as they forge bold visions across fast-moving, complex, and exciting technology frontiers. Thanks to all who joined us!
