Laura Jones: Recognizing herself as an accidental entrepreneur, Laura is drawn to what is challenging, or even impossible.  The first company she owned was, in fact, by pure luck.  Here she was the sales and marketing director for a manufacturing company and created a reputation for selling large quantities of their newly-launched mini-CNC machinery to the industry giants like Motorola, GE Aircraft, Allison, etc. 

After just a few years of starting operations, the company directors decided that the multi-million-dollar investment was not viable.  Even after bringing in expert engineers to redesign a flaw in the equipment, the directors were fixated to cease and wind down the company in the December of 1998. 

Vladimer Botsvadze: The ebb and flow of marketing is miraculous and I keep my fingers on the pulse of the latest trends. The cards are stacked in my favour when I work 16 hours a day.

There is no doubt that social media opens the floodgates to business owners to maximize their success. I take pride in seeing my results that are as solid as a rock. From the vantage point of the present, I’ve achieved everything to the best of my ability.

I always keep an open mind, which has paved the way for my transformation. I’ve been in the right places at the right time with the right people in NYC, DC, London, and Dubai.

I’m always hell-bent on broadening my horizons and being in the front line of marketing. My future-proof strategies work like a charm and I go to great lengths for my long-term goals.
