She’s helped clients sell diapers, chocolates, fried chicken, telco plans, banking products, insurance, cigarettes…pretty much everything but the kitchen sink. Her greatest fear is a tie between roaches and public speaking, so she has no idea why she said yes to speaking at BITS10. Oh dear god, please don't let there be any roaches at the venue.
