While motherhood made Serena stronger, Ohanian recently credited his daughter Olympia and wife Serena Williams for success in his business venture.
Alexis Ohanian credits Serena and Olympia for his success
After leaving his position at Reddit, the 39-year-old has come a long way. Ohanian started a new venture firm ‘Seven Seven Six’, which has seen tremendous success in recent years. Ohanian recently took to his Twitter account to narrate his tough journey after his exit from Reddit. The 39-year-old also credited Serena and Olympia for his success.
I've learned a lot about myself since that fateful Reddit protest resignation and I'm committed to getting better. Having a kid go from 2 (kinda boring) to nearly 5 (awesome!) also helped a lot. I'd always been ruthless about time management but she made me obsessed with it.

I work hard because I love what I do. And I've always tried to outwork everyone. I'm relentlessly competitive to a fault. But what changed for me was how I managed my input and measured my output. Having a very competitive wife also did not hurt!

Both Serena and Ohanian have come a long way. The way they have embraced parenthood with their respective careers is really commendable.
