Secfi in New York

We have the US team here in New York for our annual holiday party. I always love when the team can get together. Obviously a big part of the trip is having fun and bonding with each other, but the amount of work that gets done in these few days together cannot be overlooked either.

Productivity goes through the roof and it feels like we get through things multitudes faster than we would over Zoom. It is a bit of a shame that we do not get together with the Amsterdam team more. Logistically, it is just a bit of a challenge and makes sense for why we don’t do that on the regular basis. But going into 2026, I do want to focus on doing more work in person and that may mean traveling much more than I did in 2025.
