Silo Busting 21: Pre-Post-COVID with Jason Peterson, Larry Solomon, and Albert Rees

As the world prepares to hang an open-for-business sign on our collective door, we’re at a threshold moment, one Albert Rees, VP and Head of Business Consulting at EPAM Continuum, has dubbed “Pre-Post-COVID.” In this episode of Silo Busting, he discusses the concept with Jason Peterson, EPAM’s Chief Financial Officer, and Larry Solomon, our SVP and Chief People Officer. The trio look at the current talent market, data’s role in pre-post-COVID, and what it all means in the complicated context of acquisitions. Peterson nicely sums up our transitional situation by noting that during the pandemic our leaders paired “modern data technologies” and Microsoft Teams meetings so they could “quickly interpret the data and then make decisions. And so we were way more nimble than we were previously and I think you’ll continue to see us [become even] more nimble in this post-COVID world.”
