Comments: |
My career so far has involved a variety of both small
and big businesses. In recent years particularly, I’ve spent
a lot of time with SMEs through the Innovation Society of the East

issues faced by a growing company. I enjoy working directly with
people to solve the practical challenges of making money from innovative
products. |
