Experience & Testimonials
“I had no idea how much I just didn’t know, and I appreciate [Aetos] taking the time to walk me through the issues and really thoughtfully explain them to me. It’s obvious they have a lot of passion for the subject, too, which is important for someone coming into the subject without much context.”
Feedback on a preliminary assessment session
“A great presentation - Aetos’s speakers have a great rapport with each other that creates an engaging layer for teaching and results in a more productive, dynamic session for those of us attending.”
Data Privacy & AI Regulation 101 attendee
"The session is useful to all professionals. Many of the things that I thought about AI and Data privacy were wrong or misunderstood so hearing how things work was an eye opener. The speakers both knew so much and was able to bring it down to a level that could be easily understood."
John Lee, Data Privacy & AI Regulation 101 attendee

He is a true team player and was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that we were able to achieve our goals.”
