Chicago gave us more than just a great meal last night. It gave us conversations that mattered. Over dinner, leaders came together to share experiences, challenges, and what excites them most about the road ahead. Huge thanks to our co-hosts Jesse Freese at StartupExperts and to our team Shawn McIntire, Lori (Shaw) Davis, CIPP/US, CIPP/E, AIGP and Kelly Wake for guiding such thoughtful discussion. These moments remind us how valuable it is to connect in person, learn from one another, and build community. Grateful to everyone who joined. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

💥 Last night, we gathered a great group of leaders at Sepia, one of Chicago’s most celebrated Michelin-starred restaurants, for a conversation that went far beyond strategy slides. Over a shared table and thoughtfully curated meal, we exchanged real-world insights on our work, our challenges, and what we're excited about both personally and professionally. The evening was co-hosted by Velocity Global and it was an amazing event. Thank you to Shawn McIntire, Kelly Wake, and Lori (Shaw) Davis, for leading such a great table discussion. ✨ What made the night truly special wasn’t just the topics — it was the candor, curiosity, and generosity each leader brought to the conversation. These are the moments that remind us how powerful it is to learn from peers who are navigating the same challenges and shaping what’s ahead. And how important it is to meet in person! 🤝 💫 A huge thank-you to everyone who joined us in Chicago. We left energized, inspired, and even more committed to hosting future meetups. 💛 #GlobalGrowth #Leadership #StartupExperts #VelocityGlobal #ExecutiveRoundtable

An Employer of Record (EOR) can help energy companies hire anywhere in days, stay compliant across borders, and keep projects moving without the cost or delay of setting up local entities. From landing engineers in Brazil on short notice to keeping key talent during M&A carve-outs, EORs give you the agility to scale up, scale down, and pivot quickly while avoiding compliance headaches. They are not a fit for every role, but for the right projects they can turn hiring hurdles into a growth advantage. Here’s how energy leaders are using them to their advantage 👉https://okt.to/w5imxt Gemma Buxton, Louise Nicholls
