Host Dan Teixeira, NA Managing Director at e-Core, sits down with Nicole Bruno, Head of Client Strategy and Success at e-Core, to reflect on the importance of empathy and human connection in tech-enabled environments.  While AI and frameworks can optimize our processes, it’s people who bring creativity, problem-solving, and transformation to life.
