Episode 82 Colm Doyle

Motivation, Advocacy, and Leadership are the three themes for this week’s #DevRel podcast. This time around in our #DevRel podcast series, Richard Rodger speaks to Colm Doyle. We bring up some big tech company names such as Microsoft, Apple, Open-air, Slack, and Facebook and zero in on what it takes to making #DevRel work. One of the most important things, in that regard, is leadership. Colm is an experienced Developer Relations and Engineering Manager and is, currently, head of Developer Relations at Intercom. As we jump to some API discussions, we get into the role of the leader when it comes to setting up a #DevRel team. Once an API takes off, how difficult it is to manage it as a #DevRel person? Having worked for big tech companies and with a lot under his belt, Colm can tell us a thing or two about that – such as the management and distribution of API long-term, the importance of leadership and much more!
