    30 years ago 2M people formed a 600km long human chain as a peaceful political demonstration. This was part of the events that led to collapse of communism and the USSR. Found this amazing footage of myself and my family in the chain that day. #BalticWay30

    Really glad to have completed the @wise listing on @lseplc - biggest listing of a UK company ever. Direct listing as a method worked v well for everyone first time in Europe. Total belief that the team will tackle the remaining £150bn problem in the next decade.

    Incredibly proud of these past ten years building on this mission and irreversibly changing the way money moves around the world. We’ve come far, yet the finish is nowhere near. Today is an important step forward as we announce our intention to direct list @Wise in London!

    Eestis on täna puudu tuhandeid IT-spetsialiste ja IKT sektori kasvuga vajadus aina suureneb. Eesti haridussüsteem ei suuda neid piisavalt koolitada, talentide mujalt toomine ka ei lahenda muret, seega avame järgmisel sügisel Jõhvis uue täiskasvanute programmeerimiskooli.

    Estonian airspace now closed too. Cutting of airspace and banking (swift) is something that *we can do*.
