NEA Mentee 2014
My role can be quite technical with a lot of jargon and obscure software etc so it would be unreasonable to expect flawless results. However the sessions are extremely enjoyable and Carl has masses of wide experience so often conversations went off at tangents which came up with thoughts and suggestions that weren’t even hinted at at the start of the session.

For me, it is a shame we didn’t meet 10 years ago as I know we would have a longer track record of great business together.. We still have the next 10 years of course!
