Good morning! Gunjan Kedia will be U.S. Bancorp's first female CEO, Caroline Kennedy calls RFK Jr. a "predator," and networking and educational platform Luminary acquires HeyMama.

- Member acquisition. When Cate Luzio founded networking and educational platform Luminary in 2018, she aimed to make an inclusive environment that would help advance women’s careers at every stage. That mission has paid off over the years, with Luminary growing its overall membership 25% year-over-year since 2019 and adding live events, a fellowship program, and a partner network.

Now, Luminary is adding even more members to its growing network with the acquisition of HeyMama, a digital membership-based community of entrepreneurial and working moms. Existing HeyMama members will automatically transition to a digital Luminary membership; HeyMama cofounder and chief community officer Amri Kibbler and CEO Erika Hanafin will remain on as advisors through the transition before stepping down from their respective roles.
