"We are delighted to be able to continue to welcome such pioneers like Jeff and Jacob to our growing community and advisory board," said Brian Denker, Vice President & Global Head – Growth, Innovation and Leadership for Frost & Sullivan. "We are not just excited about how "cool" of a mobile application it is, but are very inspired by what the application itself represents and the ability to showcase this year's GIL theme "Disrupt, Collapse and Transform" in a real-world technology innovation such as Zula, which we believe will radically change the way global businesses communicate, collaborate, and partner irrespective of geographic boundaries."
