Artificial Intelligence combined with the vast trove of internet-accessible and in-house data with increasingly powerful machines, have truly created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for businesses, and the people who run them.Yet the challenges of growing a business also feels like it's compounding in speed and complexity.That is where sharp strategy, dialed in marketing, and networks and connections that matter, mean the most. That also includes human connections - as they're now more impactful than ever.Having someone from the C-Suite actively representing your brand, face-to-face, must be part part of your growth strategy.
