Neil is a consummate professional with endless knowledge in the tech space. Able to identify the latest trends and technologies that will disrupt and change things for the better. Being interviewed by Neil was an absolute pleasure and his line of questions were detailed, informed and useful. His prolific insights are a delight to listen to.... more of the same, please.

🟦 Susan Rooks 📚 The Grammar Goddess

Neil Hughes is a man of many skills, including being able to take an idea from someone else and turn it into exactly what the originator wanted! This is something the best "ghostwriters" can do, and I, for one, have no idea how they manage it. Beyond that, Neil is a rare individual who can make technical material understandable to others like me who have little expertise in that world. And he doesn't dumb anything down; he merely lays out ideas in terms that most of us can understand, which is admirable and not at all common. The tech world constantly evolves, sometimes seemingly at the speed of light, and Neil always seems to be two steps ahead, writing about what likely will happen, not just about what did happen. Even better, he's a gentleman and a man with a great sense of humor, attributes that make him a joy to work with and be friends with. I learn every time I'm privileged to read one of his articles, whether they're his own musings or written for someone else. If you're looking for someone to help you shape your ideas into a coherent story, check with Neil Hughes, one of the best at his craft that I know.
