IF there is one thing Mikkel Svane wishes he has more of, it is time. To the Silicon Valley tech mogul - he's co-founder and chief executive officer of customer experience software company Zendesk - "free time" is a chimera. That's because travel is a huge part of what he does.
"I try to limit travel. If I say yes to everything, I'll be on the road all the time," he tells The Business Times.
The Denmark-born entrepreneur regularly journeys to Zendesk's 15 offices around the world and attend company events, such as the Future of Customer Experience mega-roadshow that took place in Singapore in August.
