MVPbuzzChat Episode 94 with Beatriz Oliveira

Episode 94 of the #MVPbuzzChat series. Conversation between Microsoft Regional Director and MVP Christian Buckley (@buckleyplanet), Founder & CEO of CollabTalk LLC, and Beatriz Oliveira (@beatrizoliveira), an Office Development MVP and fellow Microsoft Regional Director, and the founder and CEO of BindTuning, a leading ISV (independent software vendor) for SharePoint and Microsoft Teams. Beatriz is a serial entrepreneur who co-founded a successful development company (CentralBiz), she currently serves as the President of IAMCP Portugal, and is actively involved in STEM education for youth and an ardent supporter of diversity in technology. Recorded in June 2020. In this episode, Beatriz and I discuss the difficulties in expanding a product company (ISV), her experiences in developing solutions for Microsoft Teams and working with the Power Platform, and how membership in the IAMCP (International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners at iamcp.org) can help tremendously in making connections with partners around the world, helping partners to instantly extend their reach. Beatriz also shares her background in the community, including her passion for diversity and inclusion -- especially about supporting people with disabilities.
