Family Reach Gets Out of the Kitchen with Akamai
In my work with Family Reach, an organization that helps families battling cancer with out-of-pocket medical expenses and everyday living costs, I learned of a striking statistic: The number one cause of financial bankruptcy for families is paying for the costs associated with cancer.

Mentoring with Girls Who Code
This summer was an educational summer for me. When I saw that Akamai was hosting a Girls Who Code session this summer, I couldn't have been more excited to contribute to the program.

Happy 17th Anniversary Akamai!
On this date in 1998 - 17 years ago - Danny Lewin and I incorporated Akamai. That day marked the official start of Akamai as a business, and our team of about a dozen people (mostly MIT undergrads) moved out of my office at MIT and into a small rented space in Cambridge.
