Parting advice for companies going through an acquisition: You have to be very careful and think about all the things that matter to you... Are you prepared for the shift? Think about your mindset, your motivation. A lot of people come in and congratulate themselves for the acquisition. Reputation matters. It's not just about making money. You're much better off fulfilling your obligation.

David Stein, Salesforce

Razor will share how Achievers 'achieved' (badumpah!) success over the last 10 years. According Razor, it's a "story of failure."

Razor Suleman from @achievers takes the stage and starts off by talking about "failure"
