Pick up your phone and put it in the palm of your hand. That’s the size - and weight - of Mike’s daughter when she was born at 24 weeks. She’s now 5 years old and doing great, but it was a really scary time for Mike and his wife Gaby… especially as first time parents.

As if that wasn’t enough, Mike and Gaby also started their own digital consultancy company - Proofpoint Marketing - at the same time. The company was built upon flexible and remote working… so it’s no surprise that they were ready for COVID.
