I will also be spending my time working with businesses that focus on digital and technology based solutions. I shall be working closely with a select few of technology firms on an advisory level. I will formally join the boards of a few of such firms. I will also be very open to partnership opportunities and sealing a number of them this year. The partnerships will focus on business development and growth.
