Sorry Christine, !

I’ve lost my voice.

@SEATconference #SEAT2014

Can we do this

Penn & Teller style?

@SEATconference #SEAT2014

At SEAT we know we can solve anything with

technology. !

This presentation will be living proof.

@SEATconference #SEAT2014

For those who haven't met me before today

please read these slides with Hugh Jackman's accent

that's how I sound normally (maybe with some Russell Crowe thrown in)

@SEATconference #SEAT2014

Uncanny (vocal) resemblance

exceptionally good looking….

(yes I know that is more than double…. 117% increase)
