Kristin Scott-Thomas, a gritty English actor who chooses the parts she plays carefully.
What do you do as your party trick?
I can recite the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll: "Twas bryllyg, and ye slythy toves...".
What is your favourite chocolate bar?
I prefer my chocolate as an indulgent mug of hot chocolate.

Good because I have my dream job developing the VTN programme for the UK and helping my favourite partners grow their businesses.
How would you explain the IT channel to a stranger without boring them to death?

Developing loyalty in the customer base and becoming a true trusted advisor to end users, keeping up with new technologies, creating new practises and providing end-to-end solutions.
