Win Ferrara @UiPath know why diversity matters. It's not about checking off boxes, it's about bringing in a diversity of skills, backgrounds and perspectives. Don't check the diversity box. Know why you should desire diversity.

John Craig @Dropbox we have 7 core values that guide our company #HappyCupcake
@Wipro

[Philip L Thompson @PhilipLThompson]

Balancing Enterprise expectations vs keeping true to your founding culture?
@volkersteinle be yourself, politely. Customers will value this more in the long run
Win Farrar @UiPath if you build a culture of compassion, you can make a great impact by being yourself

[Philip L Thompson @PhilipLThompson]

@mesosphere a note on the tactics of selling to Enterprises: there is a very small segment of these companies budgets set aside for innovation. Thrill clients with what you do, and let those relationships do the hard work for you

[Philip L Thompson @PhilipLThompson]

What set your business apart early on with Enterprise Businesses?
@mesosphere you need to understand the sales cycle of Enterprise organizations, and trust in the strength and value of your solutions. Quality wins in the end.
