Per chi lavora nel settore imprenditoriale UK… ho recentemente incontrato Shalini Kemka, la giovane CEO di E2Exchange. Shalini sta organizzando un evento il 5 Giugno al Four Seasons Hotel, Park Lane, London, al quale andrò. Il costo di partecipazione è circa £50 e ho pensato potesse interessare ad altri della nostra comunità. Dettagli qui sotto (prenotazioni via link segnalato al fondo).
