It’s not everyday that one gets to do an official ceremonial signing at a consulate overseas. Earlier today I was representing RallyEngine at the Canadian High Commission in Bandar Seri Begawan doing just that. Here I am with the High Commissioner, trade commissioners, representatives from Darussalam Enterprise, and the team from RallyEngine’s new partner in Brunei Darussalam, Nuara Group.
