As we kick off the podcast's fourth anniversary and leap into 2021, I'm thankful to all of the amazing thought and business leaders who come to this podcast and share principles, success strategies, and best practices that help technology organizations thrive during this age of change and transformation.

After a year like we've never experienced before, I am excited to be joined for this special series by some of these "Industry Thought Leaders" to help us better prepare for "What We Can Do to Optimize Success in 2021."

My guest for this maiden episode of the series is Joseph Landes, the Chief Revenue Officer at Nerdio.

Joseph's partner leadership experience is extensive and before joining Nerdio in 2018, Landes had a 23-year career at Microsoft and worked directly with Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Value-Added Resellers, Distributors, Enterprise partners, and other service providers in multiple geographies.
