EXACT SIGNS FORMULA ONE DRIVER Featured

Max Verstappen, Formula One racerExact has been sponsoring Max Verstappen, the youngest-ever Formula One winner for almost a year. Now the Dutch company has signed him as a Tech Talent Leader. Exact said his job, starting this month, is to inspire "some of the company's most promising tech talent." Exact began sponsoring the driver in August when he was 17, before a rule raising the minimum age to 18 kicked in and this year he became the youngest driver to win a Formula One event by taking the Spanish Grand Prix.

And what does all this have to do with accounting software, you ask? He becomes an "exceptional advisor" to Exact's HR board and in a prepared statement, the company said, With Verstappen's rapidly evolving racing career, "Exact sees opportunity to benefit from his personal character and story as a unique way to coach the talent within the company." I guess we'll either get software that goes from zero to 80 in 5.6 seconds or a car that will let you make journal entries. Exact had also sponsored the youngster's father, Johannes Franciscus "Jos" Verstappen, another Formula One winner, who raced from 1994 through 2009. I suppose the phrase, "Hey, dad, can I borrow the car?", has a different feel around their household.
