Aug 6, 2025
The show is about cloud leadership and all the important questions relating to cloud projects. Certainly, many matters when a company is going to and wants to be successful in the cloud, are about technology. However, there are many additional matters, adjacent to technology, that we also need to tend to regarding business strategy, human resources, organizational change, planning for a technical cloud approach, and many more questions. These conversations are critical for a healthy cloud and for a swift and accurate cloud approach. GUEST SPEAKER Jasjit Chopra is a MS Certified Cloud Architect with strong background in SharePoint, Office 365 and Azure. As a SharePoint expert he has worked with many multinational clients including HP, Avanade, Accenture, Unistar Nuclear Energy, Warner Music Group, Inventiv Health and iHeartMedia. Jasjit holds a Masters of Business Administration in Technology and Management from CERAM, Sophia Antipolis, France.
