ICR’s Bo Park Authors Article for O’Dwyer’s, ‘Believing in Unicorns: Why the Tech IPO isn’t a Myth’

Bo Park, managing director at ICR, and head of the technology public relations group, has authored an article entitled, ‘Believing in Unicorns: Why the Tech IPO Isn’t a Myth,’ published in the November issue of O’Dwyer’s, a publication dedicated to the public relations and marketing communications field.
