I was once again able to attend the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and serve as an executive show floor guide. Thanks to StoryTech and Lori H. Schwartz for the continued opportunity to partner.
I love the opportunities that this positioning afford me: 1) Learning firsthand from both the suppliers and consumers in the space, and 2) building new relationships. My personality is made for innovation-on-display events like CES.
