… and, finally, as we gather here tonight to celebrate the holiday season, Michelle continued into the microphone, aware she ran a little long but bringing this speech to a nice clean finish, I want to end this speech by taking a moment to reflect on what we’ve accomplished together as a company. This fourth quarter has been nothing short of extraordinary — your hard work, creativity, and resilience have pushed us to new heights.
Each of you has played a crucial role in shaping this journey, and I couldn’t be prouder of the team we’ve built. You’ve shown that when we work together with passion and purpose, we can overcome challenges and achieve remarkable results.
As we close out this year and look ahead to the next, let’s carry this momentum forward. Let’s continue to innovate, support each other, and strive for excellence in everything we do.
Tonight, though, is about celebrating what we’ve built together. So, raise your glasses with me — to a phenomenal year, an exceptional team, and an even brighter future ahead. Happy holidays, and thank you all for making this company not just a workplace, but a family. Cheers!”
