Hear From Our Executive Partners
I’ve always been good to talking to technical people, but these Board/Finance conversations are a little new to me. Thank you for all you’ve done for me. I hope I’m not overstaying my welcome.
Even this first, short call….I found valuable. I was excited when I first heard about this service. After this first call, I’m even more excited.
This is wonderful. If Lux wants to invite me to join your Board, I would be delighted to.
I presented your idea about sustainability and innovation at the Summit and of all the slides in my deck, everybody noticed the slide you sent me. They all sat up and started taking pictures.
