Hi Craig,
Thank you for reaching out. We would be glad to participate. Destin Wells is our VP of Business Development Services and would be better suited for the panel. I have cc’ed him here and marked it on his calendar.
Also, I would like to introduce you two beforehand. I enjoyed our conversation and think it would be great to get the three of us together. Destin is traveling next week but if you give me some dates/times around the second week of June we could definitely make it work.
Have a great weekend,
