>>>Sramana Mitra: When you made that decision to bring in an enterprise, you were feeling this tension. Did you add to enterprise customers?

Sylvana Caridi, Founder & CEO of Gravity Pro, has an aura of no nonsense, no bs confidence about her that I find immensely attractive. Read her story to feel the force of sheer energy, smarts, and execution to learn how she did it!
Sramana Mitra: Let’s start by introducing our audience to yourself as well as Gravity Pro.
Sylvana Caridi: I’m 42. I was born and raised in France. My parents were from Italy.
