How Technology is Enabling Customized Work Experiences

Joseph Fung understands that hard work, sweat and tears plays a role in startups, but putting yourself out there is a huge factor in success. After consulting with an advisor at Waterloo’s Communitech, Joseph found success with his first startup, TribeHR. He went on to sell TribeHR to Netsuite, the first major chapter in his road to serial entrepreneurship.

Joseph joins Alan to share the lessons he's learned along the way and the new business venture he has taken on, Kiite. Joseph and Alan discuss the changing landscape of the workforce and how technology can enable a new mode of employment. Joseph shares how Kiite's sales-enabling technology provides employees access to information on their own terms. Joseph also touches on how philanthropic activities as an organization can open the door to a happier, more diverse workforce.
