I have been doing video interviews with a number of CIOs, software executives and practitioners about acrobatics they have been seeing in various vertical sectors during the COVID-19 crisis and the "New normal" they can expect as the economy wakes up. Here is the index to the growing list of interviews.
This time it is Ton Dobbe, Chief Inspiration Officer at Value Inspiration which analyzes and advises startups. I asked him to discuss heroics he has seen in what he calls his 'Tribe".
He discusses pivots and new products and services at many of the companies he follows around the world. He specifically mentions
Dr. Cindy Gordon, CEO SalesChoice
Paul Zak - CEO Immersion
Patrik Berglund - CEO Xeneta
Timothy Willis - COO Aerobotics
Dagmar Schuller - CEO auDEERING
Recessions can be brutal for startups, but the pandemic has opened up so many new opportunities, that it is not surprising that he reports the entrepreneurs he deals with are fairly upbeat.
Ton is a glass half-full optimist like me, so it is a really invigorating conversation.
