      Thanks so much for your review. We truly have a remarkable organization of bright committed people but as you mention, our organization can sometimes feel complex. I hope you see that there are people that are working to simplify how work gets done. If you'd like to share more about the leadership issue, either myself or someone else in HR would be happy to discuss with you. Please reach out to me at pyanchik@gatesfoundation.org
