Romesh of The FD Consultant (fractional/part time CFO consulting) co hosts the next Strive & Thrive live event with Mike Oliver of Easol, and guest speaker John Diack, who has mentored over 180 tech companies.

In the past 15 years John has mentored, directly & indirectly over 180 tech companies and is known as the ‘Founder Whisperer’.
