Amy spoke at a recent Silicon Brighton Leaders event and she was absolutely fantastic! Super engaging from the start, really relatable, kept everyone gripped from start to finish and stuck around after to network and answer questions which was great. The crowd loved her, our socials went mad the next day and we had heaps of good feedback from attendees.
