I reported on the passing of Om Malik this week. In reaching out to several people, it quickly became clear through conversations with people who knew him just how deeply he influenced Silicon Valley, not only through GigaOm and his writing, but as an investor, adviser and friend. I'm grateful to Jon Callaghan, Scott Budman, Steve Vassallo, Phil Black, Christopher Michel, True Ventures and others who took the time to share memories and photos and help tell the story.

I only met him once, probably 15 years ago, but I still remember the conversation. How many people can you say that about?

Thank you for sharing Alastair Goldfisher. He was always so kind to PR professionals and willing to share his opinion and expertise to help private companies build value. A huge loss for sure. 🙏

😮 oh no!
I’m still in disbelief of this news. “Gentle giant” truly the best description of this gem of a man.
