He’s CEO of a SaaS platform which is one of the UK’s fastest growing, not because of what it does, but because of how it operates.
What can’t be replicated is iplicit’s culture, the DNA running deep in a team growing unfathomably quickly… that’s at the heart of today’s utterly unmissable episode of Extrology.
