What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
Sure. I might have mentioned before that I'm very passionate about software and technology. I do think that one of the exciting things about being in tech is that it's constantly changing.
We're releasing product updates. AI is the buzzword of the month, but it's been around for a while. It's one of those things that as the industry continues to evolve, our products are evolving as well.
We're not selling a static widget that doesn't change. Every quarter, we launch updates to the software. I think it keeps me on my toes, and seeing what competitors are doing is also exciting.
It's a very competitive market with other software vendors adding new functionality to their platforms. Keeping up to date with the trends and seeing how rapid the evolution is, is always exciting for me.
