What people say about Grant

You have been brilliant to work with and flexible in your approach which made things easy for us all. It was just such an awesome combination having you and Mark work so well together on top of your keynote which was so on point. Coming together for the Q&A just topped things off making it so special for the delegates. Your generosity with your time after the session and coming to the dinner was also greatly appreciated. Well done!
