It’s our 50th Heads-UP! and to celebrate such a Momentus milestone in our blog, we’ve decided to give you something a little different. We’re opening up and letting you get to know us better with a game of Two Truths, One Lie. Let us know which of these facts doesn’t quite add up…
Ayesha

- I have a Greek passport.
Lynn
- Somehow I made it onto Mensa’s Gifted & Talented list as a child.
- As one of the clumsiest team members, it’s by sheer luck and amazement that I have never broken a bone. Clearly, I’m made of resilient stuff 😉

- I didn’t learn to ride a bike until I was 11 years old, before that I used to follow my friends down the road on their bikes with a skipping rope.

Pierre
