Skye
Team Mascot and Head of Security
After graduating from Walthamstow University for Dogs, she has joined the Bristol office of ICON Corporate Finance in the pivotal role of team mascot.
Whilst thwarted by a lack of opposable digits, she cannot make tea or coffee but is great for office morale.
Visitors to the Bristol office should bring biscuits.
I like biscuits.
