“Hosting our global summit in Belfast was a strategic decision for many reasons. Situated between our headquarters in Texas and our site in India, it serves as a central meeting point that enhances collaboration and global alignment. It also provides an opportunity for the senior leaders of Bazaarvoice to meet our Belfast team, who have played a key role in the success of the company.
“The Team Topology workshop delivered by Matthew Skelton was a huge success and we thank him for sharing his insights on efficiency and communication within teams. Optimising our team structure remains a priority, especially with the relocation of some US tech team members to Belfast. Overall, we want to enhance our capability to deliver software at pace and ensure quality remains high.”
