About the Consultant
Experience provides insights into what works and what is not likely to work. But experienced persons can become obsolete unless they keep up with emerging scenarios.
I left a top position as financial controller of a medium sized company to work as a computer applications developer when computers began to get mainstream.
And when my development platform began to get obsolete in turn, I moved to the World Wide Web, and picked up website development.
