It was amazing to spend some time talking to Dan Holme, Product Leader at Microsoft about Yammer and how Yammer was built to create a social fabric that connects you with people outside and allows you to discover and intentially follow the things that are important to you. We also talked about many other topics in this wide ranging discussion that really was enjoyable for me and I am sure will bring you a stack of value.
Dan leads integrations of Yammer and Teams, and two new features coming to Microsoft 365 in early 2022. Prior to taking a role on the product team, Dan was the director of marketing for SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer, Stream, Search, and what became Viva Topics & Connections.
