About the Speaker:


In most rooms there is the technologist\, the account manager\, the delivery lead\, and the commercial mind. In LSP'\;s world\, they must be the same chair.

His focus now is building Zoho for Canada. Outside of that\, he'\;s usually somewhere that isn'\;t on the itinerary. Drawn to places that aren'\;t trying to be found.
