My Auntie Basia was fond of saying ‘if you look like a cross between Omar Sharif and mini-me, it’s best to tread lightly.’ Some people are wise beyond their abilities, Pumpkins.
Riaz Pisani is just such a visionary. Acquiring Contac 10 years ago and pumping it up to a wurldwide multi-million dollar mail-techno-portal-storefront-supplychain-communication powerhouse. All the while affronting his way to the top of people’s “AVOID” list. It’s a cunning sales strategy, I’ll grant you that.
And poof! He’s gone. Buh bye. Enter the clean-up man, Jack Fraser, of itravel fame. What is being cleaned up and why is a bit murky. But by all accounts, the technology on the travel side is pretty nifty.
Now let’s be clear, Pumpkins. It’s not as though I haven’t ruffled a feather in my day. You just have to know how to get away with it for more than a decade. (Cleavage helps mollify situations.)
Even wielding Nino Montagnese's bottomless charms was not enough to mitigate the Pisani factor.
