Robogals: Handing on the CEO baton

Published: Thursday, 17 January 2013

There comes a point when it's time to move on and seek out new challenges.

On 31 December 2012, after a year of transition process, I handed over my role as the Executive Director of Robogals Global to a successor.

Read my farewell letter here.
