Uh, I was, uh, I was at a Swiss utility when I was doing the algorithmic trading.
Um, so, so I was doing kind of a bit more slower stuff.
Um, but, but it was, it was good fun.
It was, I finished it.
I thought it was my dream career, but, um,
But then I realized that it wasn't, you know, it was sitting behind a desk all day long, which I'm a bit more of a social person.
So it wasn't for me, really.
So Cognizant, we help businesses find and engage new business in the B2B space.
So we're providing global contact data, so mobiles, direct dials, B2B emails, and then the tools to engage that data to create new business.
And we've also just recently acquired a business in Germany called Mailtastic, which is an email signature marketing platform.
And that really ties back to getting those prospects engaged to help increase conversions.
Exactly.
So that's part of it.
When we're looking at acquisitions, what we're also looking for are tools that help us to inform our data asset and to improve our data quality.
