His company, xcelerator, works with major customers, such as Volkswagen, Caterpillar and eBAY, providing systems that translate billions of words.

How has COVID affected his company? Responding to the COVID Crisis Tony talks about how xcelerator has pivoted to Digital First Selling, after the virus stopped International travel and face to face meetings.  This required both new technology tools and cultural changes internally, plus acceptance by customers.  Its true to say that selling will never be the same again.
