WHAT WAS YOUR MOST CHALLENGING
MOMENT IN THE FRAMEWORK OF
A GAME-CHANGER FOR BENCHMARK
CORP?
The key challenge for me initially was to explain
complex and innovative solutions to clients. I
had to recognize the way I understand technical
problems and then decide how best to commu-
nicate my message for clients to understand. I
needed to better articulate my technical analysis
in a digestible way from a business or customer
viewpoint.
My most humbling moment was realizing clients
may have understood 20 per cent based on my ini-
tial rendition. I was focused on showcasing my un-
derstanding of their problem without bringing their
perspective into my explanations. So now, when
presenting Cloud-based DevSecOps solutions, I
start from the basics and refine their knowledge in
the same way that we had to learn it ourselves at
Benchmark Corp. This is important today because,
with so many people working from home during
the global pandemic, the government and other
organizations must provide digital tools everyone
can understand and rely on.
