If Frank were to describe his life in a song, he’d go with 海阔天空 by Beyond, specifically the lyrics that relate to holding onto your dream. From our point of view, Frank makes our dreams come true with data. He’s always willing to help and can whip up a spreadsheet to provide information or breakdown a problem in record time. With Frank at the helm of our data and analytics we can always track exactly where we are, in order to keep pushing for where we’re going.
