April Interactive Peer Group Session
Our first Interactive Peer Group Session was a big success!
All the participants reported getting great value from the discussion. For our next session in April, we are privileged to have a special guest, Mark MacLeod, Friend of AceTech and Founder of SurePath Capital Partners, to attend and lead the discussion on the topic of his recent blog"Should I hire a CFO or a COO?"
