  • I had the pleasure of attending Bab’s talk at the "Tech Connect" event, and I can confidently say it was one of the highlights of the day. Bab’s ability to explain complex ideas in a way that’s easy to follow while keeping everyone engaged is truly impressive. What really struck me was his approach to leadership. He brought up aspects that are often overlooked but are so critical for achieving real results. It was the kind of insight that makes you stop and think, “This is what great leadership looks like.” It’s rare to see someone who not only understands these principles but also embodies them so naturally. On top of that, his professionalism shone through in every aspect of his presentation. Whether it was the way he handled questions, shared practical examples, or connected with the audience, it was clear he puts a lot of thought into his work. I left the session feeling both inspired and equipped with new perspectives. Bab’s talk wasn’t just informative; it was a reminder of the kind of leadership we all need to see more of. I would absolutely recommend hearing him speak if you ever get the chance.
