Insights
“
I spent one full hour with [Maven expert], typing furiously everything he had to say. He
came up with some excellent separation techniques that I hadn’t heard about so it was
truly educational.”
- Senior R&D Technical Leader
“
What would have taken us months to figure out, we were able to settle in
one week.”
- Project Manager - R&D
“
I spoke with 5 of the 24 qualified Mavens expecting to narrow my search down to one
but I had such great conversations with 4 of the five, that I have changed the focus of
my project and am planning to engage further with all four!”
- Director of Product Marketing
