Quotables
“The biggest thing I’ve learned in this industry is really not to burn bridges. It’s a really small but connected network.”
“If you’ve built relationships with other folks, they’re happy to make those introductions to the right people.”
“Coming from a big company to a smaller company, just the ability to actually listen to a customer, understand the problem, develop the solution, build a solution, and implement a solution all within a matter of weeks or months – I still can’t get over that.”
