What is your role and what is your favourite part of your job?
I am an Account Executive, working together with small and medium businesses, building and enabling solutions that are the right and create value for their organization.

If you could have coffee with any business leader or industry expert, who would you choose, and why?

I am excited to see the growth and support that our tech community is able to realize here, and the amount of jobs created for our community. The amount of new technology and applications that we don’t even know about today, are what I am looking forward to seeing tomorrow.
