My Client Engagement and/or Sales Philosophy is about “Opening New and Lasting Relationships” built on Mutual Business Value as Opposed to “Just Closing" the next Deal. I believe we are living in the most exciting times, as such I'm a keen student of emerging trends informed by the Role of Accelerated Digital Transformation in enabling business, societies and humanity broadly. The way we work, learn and play will never be the same again.
