In a single day I’ve seen Barbara brain storm with a Professor of Engineering on product development strategies, to presenting to top tier Venture Capital professionals and working on financial plans for a biotech company. Barbara moves with ease across all spectrum’s of venture development which is why we continue to work with her.
