I had the good fortune to benefit from Steve’s mentoring on the Cambridge Judge Business School Accelerate Programme for startups in their early stages. He has a great business mind and communicates his insights with marvellous clarity. As well as highlighting several key challenges and identifying some potential next steps, he summarised these strategic issues and opportunities in a wonderfully clear and concise way. Thank you again, Steve.
