Lena Zavaroni, obviously.
My colleagues won't know this about me but...
I like them in reality.
What is your favourite snack?
Sushi.
What has been your career high point to date? The impact that Steljes has had in education as a result of pioneering such technologies as the interactive whiteboard.
Has 2013 been good, bad or ugly? Good so far. We're making progress.
What do you say when asked at a party what you do for a living? I was told not to talk to strangers.
If I wasn't working in the channel I would probably be...
An out of work banker.

Delivering real value to their customers.
