Mary Bonsor
Ex-CEO, F-LEX Lega

‘My experiences of scaling and exiting a business’
Mary got a call from Mishcon de Reya that eventually led her to sell F-lex this year. Was it good fortune or the law of attraction? How ready are you for that call? Mary talks about how being profitable, talking with competitors (potential buyers), hiring a CFO and CEO, and weighing the balance of personal and professional priorities helped her take that call. How and what she negotiated, kept her sanity, how she felt on the day, and how she feels now.
