Jonathan Grey, founder and CEO of London-based Ovation Incentives and board member of the IIBN London Chapter, said: ‘The world is becoming a smaller place in which to do business thanks to the constant changes and advancements in technologies and logistics. However, advice, introductions and mentorship from business professionals who have gone through the process can be invaluable to professionals looking to expand their businesses abroad. This is the purpose of Moving into Growth.’
