These Gentlman, Just look at these few highlights.. Their backgrounds, Their experience, Their relationships and the doors they can open and the advice they can give to Cathie Reid and Catriona is amazing to say the least in its potential to launch FlamingoCX into the stratosphere...
This is just the tip of the iceberg and there is so much more in the network that Cathie and Catriona have and can leverage to launch FlamingoCX to the Unicorn it can become..
Do you think for one moment that Cathie and Catriona, two of the smartest people in Australian business circles today, are not going to be thinking this way too..
DYOR I say but hang on and enjoy the ride along the way.
Good luck to all holders..
