Over the years I've had many guest lecturers in my business school classrooms. Few have left the impression that Anna Collard does. Authentic, professional and practical. Incredibly knowledgeable, yet humble and approachable.
I wish we could measure her impact on the Cyber world and her Digital Mindfulness messaging is incredibly timely."
