What's it like pitching to a billionaire? After more than 20 years in my career, this was still a first for me. More than ever, it was critical for me to know my audience, nail the narrative, and to expect the unexpected. I hope my experience can help you hit the right notes on your next big pitch.

In 2000 she got into tech, joining MSN during the first dotcom bubble. In her last role as VP of Product at Zoopla, Jo led teams driving enterprise growth and radically improving the consumer and customer experiences of the entire property lifecycle.
