Last week, Friday the 5th of June I was a guest on the WVD Community Podcast. We talked about the community in general, some of the E2EVC conferences where we’ve met, and where Stefan needs to go, having a few beers eating steak, hanging out, and of course my new role over at Nerdio as Field CTO for the EMEA region.
