George Sifakis: Mark, I'd like to talk a little more<br />
specifically. You talked about so many incredible issues<br />
- take us on a deeper dive into some of the work you're<br />
doing, I know there's a lot, but if you could pick one.<br />
Mark Fitzgerald: I'll pick three.<br />
George: Even better.<br />
<br />
Mark: Three levels, but the same issue. Let's focus on Ukraine. I'm incredibly proud<br />
of the different elements we've touched around that tragedy in Ukraine, one being<br />
with our own people. I talked about our stakeholders and heavily focused on clients,<br />
but our stakeholders are also our own people. We have a firm in Ukraine, and many<br />
in the firm have not seen their families for over a year now once we've gone past the<br />
anniversary. As wives and children have left and are living in Germany, the UK, or<br />
elsewhere in Europe, many of the fighting-age males remaining in our firm in<br />
Ukraine are continuing to work. Not only are they just working, but thinking about<br />
reconstruction. They're embedding themselves with ministries within the<br />
government to help them and to guide them around what a potential rebuild can look<br />
like. You know, in our industry, we always talk about opportunities, except with<br />
Ukraine, we talk about needs. We don't want this to be self-serving. It's not. It's<br />
about rebuilding a country that needs help from the international community, but<br />
also about supporting the Ukrainians themselves. And our whole focus is on<br />
maintaining that engagement with our colleagues in Ukraine.<br />
