Boeing 737 Max Return, & The $1B+ Club: MessageBird

American Airlines is operating the first U.S. flight of the Boeing 737 Max since the craft was grounded in March or 2019. CNBC’s Auto and Airline Industry Reporter Phil LeBeau is on that first flight from Miami to New York. Plus, EU-based cloud communications platform MessageBird is taking on Twilio with its $3B valuation. In the second interview of the $1B+ Club series, MessageBird CEO Robert Vis and one of his investors, Spark Capital GP Will Reed, discuss how they’re betting on an omnichannel platform as a service (PaaS) to change the way businesses communicate.
