Tell us about yourself?
In addition to his successful international career as an enterprise software executive, I was exposed to the music, media, and entertainment industries. The opportunity to use data and technology to achieve greater transparency within the industry caused me to consider how my thought leadership and knowledge of upcoming technology may be applied to deliver innovative ideas as a leading architect of popular culture.
If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?
I would exactly do the same, starting a new company at the beginning of a pandemic was pretty crazy, yet there was less competition for resources. The second reason is that whatever changes we face, good or bad, brought up new customer needs. And customer needs are at the core of any business.
