John at Stark Tech Advisors has helped immensely get us up and running the North American market. Not only did he help clarify the GTM strategy and collaborate with a number of key SAP stakeholders, he also helped build the pipeline by coordinating our third-party partner marketers, and engage directly with our end-customers. We are so lucky to have John's experience, knowledge, connections, and mentorship with us here at Freedom Inc.
