When Daniel Otieno, one of our superstar QA engineers, saw his first computer, it was love at first sight. Despite having never been within a 100 mile radius of one before the — well, relatively, for someone of his generation — ripe old age of 17, he took to it like a fish to water. Within months, he was mastering advanced programming languages while tutoring other students in the basics. So, when it was time for him to go to university, he didn’t have to think twice about which subjects he’d choose.

Maybe it doesn’t occur to them, or they feel it’s too complex and costly to be worthwhile. If you’re one of them, we’re going to show you why putting an FX hedging strategy in place could be one of the best things you do as a CFO. 1. You probably already hedge   M ..read more
