Hackquire™ Creators.
The Hackquire™ book is created by a diverse group who met early in their lives, bringing together cultures and experiences. As their careers grew, they connected with like-minded people, deepening their fascination with work hacks. They have been recognised in their fields of work, been part of major projects, awesome small projects, and have held both senior and junior positions. They have also been referenced by major academic institutions. The creators are well-versed across many industries and have built strong cultures and high team retention, blending formal education with lessons forged from real-world experience.
