What an amazing kickoff to Season 2! I have an incredible conversation with veteran and Microsoft Director - Delivery Management Alex Perry. Alex brings such a rich and diverse perspective to the discussion and shares insights from his military career, his transition to the tech industry and the value of military skills in technology roles.
