Interesting and inspiring fun facts shared by the team:

 Shared by Mara Nicholson (Director, Financial Reporting, Finance - Global Accounting Operations) “The SEC
team is fluent in the XBRL language” The Stock Admin team has work to do every day the market opens…
the stock market is only closed 9 week days a year! The Record and Information Management team’s fun fact
is: “This team is too much fun to encapsulate down into only one fun fact!”
 Pamela Arquelada, (Director of Technical Accounting and Finance Policy, Finance - Global Accounting
Operations), on her team ,“Globetrotting on the weekends because we only have two days, why waste them?
11 hours + my passport = endless possibilities! Imagine what a three-day weekend could offer. Frequently
spotted at SFO and on Instagram #StandbyChampion #WeekendsAbroad #Jetsettering”
 Shared by Ka Yi Lau (Sr Manager, External Reporting and Equity Accounting, Finance - Global Accounting

its people, and most importantly, its food. Not only have I traveled all over Japan more than I can count, but I
have also tasted the many flavors of the famous KitKat!
 Linda Brennan, (Director, M&A Finance and Integration, Finance - Global Accounting Operations) “I
serve on a nonprofit board, if directors for an org that matches volunteer advocates with foster kids, hike all
over the Bay Area, and have traveled all over the world”
