“The feedback was hugely positive. In fact, everyone kept referring back to points Christine Crandell made for the rest of the meeting, and when we adjourned for cocktails the main discussion was around her list of things companies do to erode trust.”
– John Ragsdale, Vice President Technology Research, TSIA
