Aernoudt shares his journey from being an expert in technology R&D to being an expert in enterprise sales.  We discuss the fateful dinner in Toronto when his career changed, and how this has brought him to some of the top tech companies in the world.  We touch on enterprise tech sales techniques and get a bit geeky speaking about the possibilities of ‘composable architectures’.  This conversation is part of the OpenExO series!
