Jean Philippe Barleaza, EMEA VP Channel, Alliances and General Business, VMware Hearing that a company is good at making people tough isn’t necessarily something one would expect to hear in a conversation about innovation. Indeed, it could come across as a bit of a negative, but not in this context. For Simon Kofkin-Hansen, it’s one […]
Disruption has been the buzzword over the past few years. Markets upended, established orders thrown into chaos, industry titans laid low.
