On a catch-up call, he told me this great story about working with an intern at one of their customers, Allergan Aesthetics, and AbbVie company.Sunethra Kannan was the intern. Her assignment was to help set up the Mobile Locker user accounts as they were rolling out inside the company.

You won’t regret it.When she goes back to school at the University of Illinois, Bob decides why shouldn’t they hire her part-time (fitting with her schedule) to continue the work and do more of the same for other customers.This becomes the win-win-win for all parties involved.
