Retention.com CEO and Co-founder Adam Robinson, wife, and children among victims in Florida plane crash

The identities of the nine people killed in a private jet crash in Palm Beach County, Florida, were confirmed last Monday.

A Learjet 60 was bound for the Bahamas from Austin when it nosedived into a multi-lane highway on 1st November. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating whether ice and turbulence contributed to the crash, and whether human error played a role.

E-commerce technology startup Retention.com CEO and Co-founder, Adam Robinson, his wife Helen Sharp and their two children, Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, were all killed in the crash.

A company spokesperson said: "We are heartbroken by the loss of Adam, his wife Helen and their two young children. Adam was much more than our CEO. He was a friend, a mentor and a bold, outspoken leader who lived life to the fullest. He cared deeply about the people around him and brought energy and conviction to everything he built.

His loss is deeply felt across our team and the tech community, as we collectively mourn this significant loss."

They continued: "Our hearts are with Adam and Helen’s family and loved ones, and with everyone affected by the crash. We ask that their privacy be respected during this difficult time. Our immediate focus at Retention.com is supporting our employees and Adam and Helen’s family. We are grateful for the kindness and support extended to them and our team."
