Tim Ford
WLTH
Tim is passionate about working with brokers and businesses that have a desire and ability for scalable growth. He draws on 17 years industry experience working with some of the most dynamic and fastest growing businesses within our industry. Most of the experience is based on observations on the successes and failures ,with an understanding the causes of each.
The session today will be about how to apply those learnings to each business with their own unique requirements, opportunities and challenges – rather than a one size fits all.
