NEW: Axios hires star Politico reporter Alex Thompson (@AlexThomp) as national political correspondent. News outlets are jostling for talent ahead of 2024 — I'm told Thompson turned down offers at WaPo, Politico and Semafor

Our condolences go to our colleagues & friends in the UK on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. She showed us what to do with opportunities we’re given. She worked tirelessly, with dignity, for her nation & family, showing power & influence can be used for the greater good. RIP.

I've been fortunate to work alongside Jill for many years. She is beloved by so many of us here at Cox. Jill will leave the company in good hands, as Karen is a unique thinker, leader and teammate who understands exactly what Cox is all about. Congrats, Jill and Karen.
Karen Bennett is named EVP and chief people officer of Cox Enterprises, replacing Jill Campbell, who retires in December after 40 years. Congrats to both!

There are so many industries we could invest in, but we're excited by the possibilities of #cleantech companies like Sierra Energy that are working to build a cleaner world. And like Sierra Energy, we're focused on solving big problems to improve life for the next generation.
One way in which we're driving environmental change is by nurturing innovative #cleantech companies like Sierra Energy (@FastOx), who are busy turning trash into clean energy. The company was recently featured in @Inc Magazine.

Enjoyed the day at our special #Cox34by34 Act to Impact Roadshow stop in beautiful Burlington, VT. It’s inspiring to see our employees come out and spend time together, bringing to life our vision of helping 34 million people live more prosperous lives by 2034.

I'm so proud of the work we're doing in indoor agriculture. Most recently, we've invested in @MucciFarms, a company bringing healthy, locally grown produce to more dinner tables across the country. And like Cox, Mucci is a family business focused on building a sustainable future.
Cox expands its sustainable agriculture platform with a strategic investment in Mucci Farms. This investment is another step forward in our mission to build a healthier and more sustainable future. #SustainableAg #Cleantech

Atlanta lost a bright light today with the passing of Jovita Moore. Jovita was hardworking and humble, and people loved her because they knew she loved them and this city. Her Cox family grieves with those who knew her, and especially for her children.
