While we continue to expand our focus more on BizzHub’s future vision in terms of our offerings, technology, market expansion and funding, my involvement in the
different departments of the organization is at different levels based on the organization’s needs at that point in time. Our Operations Lead, who is aware of our broader objectives, knows when to escalate and our well laid-out processes take care of the rest. Like wise, our valuable Business Development generates the most relevant leads for BizzHub’s growth. We are well on our way to replicate this with the Projects team soon.
