Senior members of the team responsible for sales (and we encourage you to bring your colleagues from marketing and customer success)

Pivoting and Pain Points
2020-05-27 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Edmonton) | Virtual Online
Anthony Nagendraraj is the Founder and CEO of local Edmonton startup, Spontivly, a platform that is helping connect people to their community.
Anthony immigrated to Canada from Thailand at a young age – first to Montreal, then to Edmonton. He spent his career in the tech industry, doing both consulting and business analyst work for companies large and small, including IBM, CGI and Alberta Innovates. His background allowed him to see, at a detailed level, how data influenced decisions; he decided to find a way to allow our communities (and the built forms they take on) be shaped by the way people themselves interact on a daily basis.
Join Anthony, as he learned how to pivot his business and adapt to these strange and uncertain times.
