Yeapp: Brilliant start towards business digital transformation

Conny's goal was clear: find a reliable partner in the software industry to forge strategic alliances with Yeapdata. That perfect partner was Gabriel!  

Although the physical meeting was still pending, Gabriel's reputation and experience generated unwavering trust.
