BONUS EPISODE: The Invention of DEX (w/ Pedro Bados & Yassine Zaied)
OK everyone here's one last fantasic BONUS episode to see out the year. This was a great conversation with Nexthink's Pedro Bados (founder and CEO) and Yassine Zaied (Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer) about the emergence of DEX - as theory, practise and even acroynrm - within Nexthink.We recorded this earlier in the year and had some sound issues. Some hard backend audio work however has rendered the conversation (we hope) both listenable and enjoyable, and it's such a clinching theme for 2023 (when DEX has grown so much in stature and reach) that we wanted to share it before everyone goes on a well-earned break, and the DEX Show prepares for a fantastic and exciting start to 2024. Thanks so much for listening and Happy New Year from everyone here - we look forward to seeing you first thing in January.For more from Pedro on the origin of Nexthink be sure to check out this amazing earlier epsiode "Three Magic Kings" - https://www.nexthink.com/blog/the-dex-show-podcast-9-the-three-magic-kings For more amazing DEX content, including podcasts, articles and exclusive research, head over to the DEX Hub (dex.nexthink.com)To hear more interviews like this one, subscribe to the Digital Employee Experience Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform.
