You can have a real impact and your experience will be welcomed. Anyone that is thinking about it, please do let me persuade you to do it!”Gustafsson oversaw a period of gargantuan growth during her time at the helm of Darktrace, helping take the business from little-known start-up to one of the most UK’s feted tech success stories.
