When I think about freedom, I think about opportunity. Growing up in Long Island, I owned a delicatessen as a teenage entrepreneur. I wasn't handed a roadmap, but I was given something more powerful, the freedom to dream and to build a future bigger than myself. And that's the promise of America.

Freedom is the belief that where you start does not determine where you finish. It's the chance to create, to innovate, to reinvent yourself. Every day at ServiceNow, I see that spirit come to life. We help people unlock possibilities through technology. We put AI to work for people so they can spend more time doing what humans do best.

As America celebrates 250 years, I'm reminded that our greatest strength is our people, the dreamers, the builders, the innovators, the ones willing to bet on a better future for themselves and others too. That's where freedom comes in. It means so much to me, the opportunity to turn possibility into reality.

At ServiceNow, we're so honored to be part of this great American story, helping people, organizations, and communities achieve their full potential. The promise of freedom isn't just what we've accomplished over the last 250 years. It's what we empower future generations to achieve in the years ahead. That's why we're so proud to be participants in Freedom 250. Thank you.
