“Ajay was brought in to run an organisation going through both rapid growth and change. He hit the ground running and took charge of that transformation. At the same time he got buy-in from existing staff who were used to doing things in a very different way. Ajay is an inspirational leader with a very finely tuned understanding of Internet publishing. I very much admire Ajay's leadership skills and intellect.”
