This is a fascinating and enjoyable memoir, that will be of great value to numerous readers. I found the insights the author is able to convey unique into areas of vital importance and centrality to the rapidly changing world we live. Given the impact of the technology the author describes, and the business processes and models associated with them, on every area of life, the behind-the-scenes views unveiled shine a light on material that is as obscure as it is interesting.

What’s covered

How is innovation managed? How do
startups get funding? How does intellectual
property work?

If you are planning a career in the rapidly evolving world of Tech, you may want to prepare for the ride. Silicon Valley tech veteran Dr. Frantz Lohier shares an honest glimpse into the rarely talked-about hurdles and keys to success in the industry, with personal anecdotes and insights covering his international and tenured career. With lighthearted candour, Lohier hints while the waters of tech move fast, only steady perseverance and humour will determine whether you sink or swim in this industry.
