“I think one of the crucial components of [disruptive technologies] is the people.  Ultimately it is the people who drive things forward and make critical decisions using the data.”
Quick Wins interview with Biren Gandhi, a senior key level technology executive based out of Silicon Valley.  A former Facebook & Cisco technologist, Biren provides our listeners with a deep dive on disruptive technologies such as Internet of Things (IOT), artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and fog computing.   In this informative discussion, Biren provides definitions of the various technologies and shares insights on some of the key ways technology will continue advance into 21st century.

We’re going to do a Quick Wins interview. If this is your first time tuning in, Quick Wins is when I have an opportunity to connect with individuals discussing ideas, products or services to help round out your consulting toolkit. Our guest is Biren Gandhi. He is a technology senior executive, worked for a lot of cool companies such as Facebook and other tech firms. Biren is going to help facilitate what I call a disruptive technologies one-on-one conversation. I’ve had a lot of mentees and some go-getters that have been having conversations about all these cool technologies that’s coming and that’s hitting the marketplace. There’s a lot of noise in the system around AI, Artificial Intelligence, around blockchain, AR/VR and fog computing.
Biren came on the show graciously and started to break these down. He has a front seat as one of the tech senior executives that are helping drive this type of technology forward and in advancing that agenda. He’s going to break it down for us, get into the one on one. I know that you will find this conversation very informative. We don’t get a chance to even cover all of the various technologies.
