Client Testimonials
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our partners say about working with SWAAT.
"Milie is one the most incredible operators I've met. She's worked with us as a consultant on various aspects (primarily on our sales efforts, but also with our company registration and championing the voice of our customers). Milie & her team are a majority of the reason we've turned around our sales in Kenya and we're seeing significant progress here-- I attribute much of our recent success to Milie and the SWAAT team!"
