"I shared my business goals for my new startup with Ife, and she brilliantly broke down those goals into actionable items for smooth execution. Beyond just the actionable items for execution, she shared other resources, tools, and networks I can exploit to keep achieving my goals (AWESOME!). Finally, she also helped me see why it's so important to have a long-term strategy, even after achieving those goals".

"With the recent & ongoing layoffs, and only working in the UK for one year, securing another visa became critical. I contacted Ife to apply for the UK Global Talent Visa. She helped me map and structure my existing achievements in digital technology.Ife assisted me in putting together a strong application, reviewing and revising every document, including my personal statement, to ensure that my contribution to the UK tech industry was clearly communicated. We completed my application in 2 months and I received a decision in 2 weeks. If you're a tech professional seeking long-term residency in the UK, I highly recommend working with SWIF".
