Please join the Allvoices team in wishing our CEO Amra Tareen a very Happy Birthday! Today at the Allvoices headquarters in San Francisco, California, we hosted a surprise birthday lunch for Amra. I am pleased to share the original photos from the celebration.
Amra certainly was surprised! We planned a lunch on the lovely rooftop deck of the building across the street from our downtown office. Our team secretly crept over to the rooftop across the street without Amra seeing us. We coordinated the timing with our Chief Marketing Officer Aki Hashmi. As we stood on the roof holding hand-made birthday signs high in the air, Aki led Amra to the window of Allvoices office. Amra immediately spotted us, and we jumped up and down with pride while she waved.
Amra and Aki then joined the rest of our team on the rooftop where we served her a fabulous Pakistani lunch from Pakwan and delicious chocolate cake courtesy of Emporio Rulli (and lovely Jeannie Rulli). We had a great time! Before we returned to work, Amra thanked us and spoke excitedly about the growth of our company, plans going forward and our amazing global community of users from 167 countries.
Again, we wish Amra a wonderful birthday! We have truly enjoyed working hard together as a team and are grateful for the opportunity to be on the cutting edge of innovation in journalism and social media. We are committed to providing the best experience for our community and are thrilled by the comments we've received from users all over the world who are excited to have a voice, share their unique and original stories, news and perspectives.
