Zaun Bhana, Managing Director at Perth-based Leap Consulting said, “As a long-time member of HTG in Australia, it’s extremely exciting for us to have our own dedicated summit. It shows HTG’s continued commitment to their ANZ partners, and their willingness to invest in us to see our companies develop. A number of HTG members have been very fast-growing organizations, and HTG has been right alongside them, helping achieve that growth in a structured and profitable manner. I, for one, can’t wait for the event, and we are looking forward to this becoming a regular part of our calendar each year.”
