Four stars – thank you so much. We appreciate all you did for HKA, as you say you are a “former employee, more than four years”. We trust all is going well for you. Pleased that you enjoyed HKA – as you said, “good culture, good people, flat structure”. Sorry, you saw the cons in the way you did. We don’t see it as “private equity pressure” – we thank our private equity investors as they have and continue to provide the capital/support to help HKA improve, grow, and be more successful. Personally, I have worked in profit-making businesses for over 35 years, and HKA, under private equity ownership, is like other commercial businesses; results are expected. We will see it two different ways, which is the interesting point about diversity of thought. Thanks again. Wishing you all the very best, Best always, Kate Partner, Chief People Officer
