There is just a week to go until the start of hybrid event TECH LIVE LONDON – a two-day showcase event for technology, AI, cyber, cloud, 5G and women in STEM.

Taking place from June 23-24 at London’s historic Tobacco Dock, and also virtually, TECH LIVE LONDON 2022 will convene some of the world’s greatest technological minds.

This hybrid event – sponsored by Salesforce, Claroty, kainos and Oracle, among others – welcomes in-person speakers and attendees as well as being broadcast live via a fully interactive virtual platform to an audience of thousands of executives worldwide.

Tara McDaid joins Salesforce after 20-year career at Cisco

Latest speakers added to the line-up include Tara McDaid of Salesforce and Paul Gowans of VIAVI Solutions.

McDaid has only recently joined Salesforce as Regional Vice President Sales Strategic Telco, Sports and Gaming, having previously spent 20 years at Cisco.

As a senior sales leader, McDaid has driven complex, business outcome-focused client engagements, from developing the opportunity to leading the negotiations across a wide variety of significant bids.

With more than 13 years of experience in the Service Provider/Telco segment,  she has developed deep knowledge of customer challenges.

Describing her leadership style as one of empathy and insight, McDaid believes that only when you truly understand the goals you seek to accomplish, can you empower and coach colleagues to reach their maximum potential.

McDaid is an advocate of technology for good – evidenced in her role as a Digital Ambassador for the northern UK seaside town of Blackpool, which is one of the most deprived areas in England. McDaid hopes to improve social and economic outcomes for the citizens of the town through her digital role.
