Farewell My Friend

By Steven Miyao

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Mike Ma for eight and a half amazing years. I am writing this blog with both sadness and excitement in regards to his and our future. As you might have seen from his last blog post, Mike has decided to take a new challenge starting next month.

I know this is going to be an excellent professional step that will offer new opportunities for Mike. He has been a tremendous asset to kasina and I know his new team will also benefit from his enthusiasm and insights.

Mike is leaving during a period of tremendous growth for kasina. We will miss him dearly, but if there ever is a good time, now might be it. While replacing Mike's skill sets won't be easy, our hiring of talent over the last year will allow us to transition his responsibilities seamlessly.

kasina has always believed in aligning our employees' goals with those of our organization. At times, an individual may have ambitions that can't be reconciled with those of the company. When we encounter such a situation, we encourage and help our employees to find new paths. The time has come for Mike to do just that, and I am excited for him.

I am also sad to see him go, because I won't be able to chat with him every day about the future of our industry, music, and life in general. Still, I know that while I am losing a great business partner, I will continue to have an amazing friend.

Thank you, Mike, for everything that you have done for kasina.
