"What I love about connecting people is that there is nothing quite like the power of putting two great minds together. Sometimes a year or two on from that initial nucleus of a connection, ends up this amazing story of a business transaction that was enabled, or a friendship that was born, or a new idea or collaboration that came together. It's all about engineering serendipity."
