Leanne talked to NZBusiness about her career so far and the true potential of GeoOP – another standout opportunity in the growing and lucrative Software-as-a-Service sector.

Q&A: Ahmad Jubbawey, Vensa Health
Ahmad Jubbawey is founder and CEO of leading mobile health (mHealth) solutions provider Vensa Health. If you’ve received an SMS from your doctor, physio or hospital, there’s a good chance Vensa was responsible for its delivery.
