Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, recently talked about how his older daughter, Olympia, helped him grow professionally and personally. Ohanian shared how becoming a father motivated him to pursue his life’s work and make his daughter proud.

Ohanian has been a vocal advocate for parental leave and gender equality. Ohanian and Williams have two daughters — Olympia, who turned six in September 2023, and Adira River, who was born in August 2023.=

In a recent thread on X (formerly Twitter), Ohanian opened up about how becoming a father changed his perspective and priorities in his business ventures. He expressed that having children was one of the best things he ever did, not just personally but also professionally.

“Having children was one of the best things I’ve ever done, not just personally, but also professionally. Business Dads will understand,” Ohanian wrote.

Ohanian’s tweet about his kids and his career sparked a lot of positive reactions from his followers. One of his followers asked about the professional benefits in his life after having kids.

Ohanian shared some of the major decisions and milestones that he made since becoming a father. He mentioned that he resigned in protest from the Reddit board in 2020, following the death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests.

The Reddit co-founder also stated that he split up his venture capital firm, Initialized Capital, which he co-founded in 2011, to start his own fund called Seven Seven Six, describing it as his “life’s best work.”

“With Olympia at 3 in 2020, it motivated me to resign in protest from @reddit board, split @initialized up to start @sevensevensix — my life’s work, my best work — wanted her to see me doing my best, in a way she’d be proud of. The last 3 years have been the most productive and effective of my career,” Ohanian replied.
