In this episode of E-Coffee with Experts, we chat with Alan Masarek, Chairman Of The Board at SalesIntel.io. Alan shares what it was really like inside Google during those early tech wars, why QuickOffice became key to Google’s Office strategy, what it was like working under Sundar Pichai, and the tension between web vs app development as Android and Chrome OS evolved.
But this isn’t just a history lesson. Alan also breaks down what great leadership looks like in 202, from managing billion-dollar restructurings at Avaya to building AI-powered customer experience at scale.
