Rickertsen’s guests, including ABC7’s Taylor Ancell and Rebecca Cooper; Jennifer Nyz-Conner of the Washington Business Journal, and Vincent M. Gabriele of MicroStrategy, are amused when Saylor says hardware will become mostly obsolete unless “you own a diamond mine or an oil well.” Photograph by James R. Brantley.
In the sweltering heat, many of the male guests at the Saylor book party wore sports shirts. Here is Jeff Bedell, Jarrod Patten, and Sanju Bansal, MicroStrategy’s executive vice president, COO, and vice chairman of the board. Photograph by James R. Brantley.
