"One of the things I have learnt is not to overthink too much and just go for it. The more exposure you can create the better, more contact points and engagements mean more potential for cross pollination or meeting a person that is genuinely going to make a difference to your company."

It's the phone call at four in the morning or the little tweet notification or that something has gone down and that terrifies every CTO out there."
