As Global Head of Experience Solutions and GSI Sales. Josh is noted for his prestigious background and track record of helping to bring experience led workplaces to an array of enterprises.
Having started out a formidable career in the midst of the revolutionary mid-90s, Josh Olson is the man to talk to when it comes to workplace transformation. His executive alignment of strategy and technology in achieving optimal outcomes for businesses across the board has stemmed from a long line of experience at some of the most prominent names in computing and business of the past few decades, including Uunet, Verizon, EMC and Oracle. We were lucky enough to speak to Josh about all of this and more.
Josh also shined a light on several topics, including:
- Helping customers leverage technology into game-changing digital workflows that are meaningful and powerful

In this world where everything can be an endpoint… I want that to be a brilliant experience, and to do that I have to first start with: Can I secure it? Can I manage it? Can I deliver the right apps and resources to it so you can actually do your job in a unique way? And then, what is that right workflow that you need, ideal for that role?
