Sarah Haggard discusses Mentorship in IT ; Part 1 of John Nicolau’s Tech Trends discussion.

This week we sit down with Sarah Haggard, long-time Product Marketing lead at Microsoft for multiple startup initiatives, who is now the mastermind behind Tribute, an app that connects individuals with mentors in a personal way. We discuss how she’s melded her desire to change the world one person at a time with the enticing world of technology, how she was able to affect change on a much larger level by diving into problems within the business world, and how she engineered new solutions for those problems. Later, we showcase part 1 of 2 of our discussion with John Nicolau. John has spent his entire career in IT and began his own IT consulting firm that quickly achieved Microsoft Gold Partner status. From customer-facing interface to building technical solutions, John is immersed in the field and has seen the full gamut of technology trends. We will discuss four main trends he is seeing today.
