Len Blavatnik is no longer chairman
Hi, I work for Access Industries and plan to propose updates to this article and related articles. I'm looking forward to working constructively with the other editors here. As I also explained in my edit summary, since Len Blavatnik is no longer the chairman of Access Industries, as can be seen from the Leadership page of the company's website, I removed that statement from the article as a straightforward, uncontroversial edit. Happy to discuss here if anyone has questions about this. Thanks! C at Access (talk) 13:30, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Updates to lead
Hi again. I would like to request a few changes to the lead section.
 * In the first sentence, the characterization "British-American privately held multinational investment group" is inaccurate; while the company does have offices in London, it is headquartered in New York. Please change to:
 * "United States-based privately held investment company.
 * Update the third sentence to reflect that the company has seven areas of focus, not four:
 * Access Industries' focus is in seven sectors : biotechnology, entertainment, external funds, global media, strategic equity, technology ventures, and real estate.
 * Update the last sentence to reflect that the company is headquartered in New York only (not London) and has additional offices in London and Mill Valley (not Moscow):
 * It is headquartered in New York with offices in London and Mill Valley, California.

 * Thanks! I just posted another edit request, at Talk:Danny Cohen (television executive) - perhaps you're able to take a look at that one too. Again, thank you. C at Access (talk) 20:21, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
