Hello. We are a little confused by this review as we have no software developers in Detroit, or indeed anywhere in the US. I have checked our Global List just in case, and we don't have any Software Developers at all. We don't have one leader, as we are a Partnership. Thank you for your review though! Regards, Lisa Inclusion, Diversity and Engagement Consultant
