With the closing of 2022, the tech world continues its acclimation to a different kind of working life—one evolving around its dynamic workforce.

Corporate culture has suffered these last few years. While a lot of companies have tried to keep connected by finding fun ways to gather virtually, nothing really can replace the face-to-face water cooler conversations of years past.

Recently, RingCentral participated in Enterprise Connect, an enterprise conference and expo that brings together those focused on issues central to enterprise communication and collaboration.

For two years, businesses and their employees have adapted rapidly to new ways of working amid a pandemic, including from where—whether at home, in the office or in a hybrid context.

As the first truly global cloud communications and collaboration company, RingCentral has remained on the cutting edge of our industry in part by placing high priority on diversity as we build our company as well as our products.

Recently, I sat down with Ray Wang for a conversation centered around how technology is supporting the future of work, including some discussion of how RingCentral Ventures is playing a role in shaping that future.

Since the beginning of the year, when healthcare workers began receiving SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations with a promise that the rest of the nation soon would follow suit, I have wondered about the return to “normal.”

At the heart of my high tech career lies a passion for innovation. My recent shift to founding and leading RingCentral Ventures very much stems from that deep commitment to ongoing change.

As we enter another year of working from home due to Covid-19, many innovations ahead will acknowledge the shifting ways in which we now live and work.

Constant innovation is what drives a company to grow from $100 million to $1 billion. To stay viable, a company has to reinvent itself every couple of years, at least, and that reinvention can never stop.

Oftentimes when I speak, when it comes time for Q&A, people ask how I made my own multiple start-ups successful.

As many high-tech companies enter our sixth month of altered work arrangements due to the coronavirus pandemic, some trends have started to emerge with regard to how employees are faring with remote work.

Heading into 2020, one of my predictions for this year was that technology increasingly would "humanize.

Today’s workplaces have grown in many positive directions when it comes to women’s places within them — which, of course, ought to be no different than men’s places within them.

Did you know that every single day, we hold a piece of women’s history in our hands?

RingCentral Chief Innovation Officer Kira Makagon is no rookie to the C-Suite.

Over the past couple of years, technologists have given a lot of thought to how technology communicates with its users as well as to how users communicate with technology.

As the only child of Ukrainian immigrants, I credit the gender-neutral way my parents raised me with a lot of my success in the tech sector today.

As legacy companies transition to a cloud-first world, active leadership of visionary chief information officers (CIOs) will be critical to the success of digital transformations.

When customers perceive that they’ve had a poor customer service experience, they may part ways with the product, service or company.

As another school year winds to a close, so, too, does my three-part series on Building Your Career Curriculum.

When someone says they’re a founder of a startup, everyone knows that person is an entrepreneur, but that’s not the only way to practice entrepreneurship.

In 2018, I posited that artificial intelligence (AI) would become widespread, seeping into our everyday lives. Now, in 2019, we’re starting to see this become reality.

The vital role of technology in improving employee engagement and job satisfaction

This week, RingCentral released a new report titled “Overcoming the Digital Disconnect: How Disjointed Communications Technologies Are Letting Customers Down — and How to Solve It.”

Last year, I predicted that 2018 would be the year that artificial intelligence (AI) becomes pervasive. Now, as we kick off 2019, AI is showing signs of becoming even more ubiquitous.
