My first year at SLATE has flown by, especially considering how all of us had to adapt to a new way of doing business in these last few months. However, Simon and his partners have been exceptional leaders in navigating the company through these uncharted territories. It’s been an absolute joy collaborating with Simon, and even though I’ve had quite a few memorable experiences in my career, working with my incredible clients at SLATE has resulted in unrivaled pinch-me moments. May those never go away.”
