“Charlie gave a breakfast talk to Business SA on blockchain that reinforced my views that as a technology innovation it has enormous potential to deliver new value and Charlie has been advising us on our strategy ever since. I highly recommend Charlie as a speaker as his enthusiasm for the subject is matched by his understanding of how to make it practical for SA businesses.” Alistair McFarlane, General Manager, Asset Development at Beston Global Foods
“We were fortunate enough to have Charlie give a presentation to our Investments Team about Blockchain and its applicability, and use-cases across different industries. Charlie's passion was evident as he engaged constructively and visually with our audience, often prompting open discussions and encouraging the group to 'think differently' about modern-day problems. I would recommend Charlie to anyone looking for an engaging, energetic and memorable subject-matter expert.” James Moriarty, Portfolio Manager at Duxton Capital Australia
