Fun fact, why we chose Fides as our name: derives from the Roman goddess for integrity. The Roman government used to store all their state documents in her temple and hold government meetings there.
We want to be Fides for corporates in the 21st century.
And with the divine blessings of Fides, we hope to hear from you soon.
May the Fides be with you.
Lisa, Philippa & Vincen
