The tech industry is bullish on 2025, according to a recent report by CRN.
“Technology is the economic driver of both the national and global economy,” said Bob Venero, CEO of Future Tech Enterprise, in an interview.
“It drives tens of billions of dollars into the global economy that is tied to creating jobs. Tech entrepreneurs, including the hundreds of thousands of solution providers in this country, need to continue to be agile enough to drive that growth.”
Added Gina Bolvin, President of Bolvin Wealth Management Group, in a note on Friday, “I’m more bullish today than I was yesterday—and I was a bull then.”
With inflation nearing the Fed’s 2% target and the job market still notching strong gains, the optimists in tech seem to be having a moment.
One company ahead of the curve is Prezent, an AI-powered business communication and presentation productivity platform, which last month announced the names of three new senior leaders: Maeva Riley, Michael Lam, and Lydia Abbot (article’s featured photo).
As the new VP of Global Marketing, Maeva Riley is a dynamic, results-driven marketing leader with over a decade of experience in B2B technology and data sectors. She has a proven track record of building and scaling high-performing teams, driving growth through innovative marketing strategies, and simplifying complex, technical products.
Michael Lam will head up enterprise sales for the West Territory within North America. The University of Washington graduate has experience driving SaaS thanks to his ability to strategically manage large, complex enterprise accounts.
Lydia Abbot, who will help lead content at Prezent, is an integrated marketing and content specialist, having spent more than a decade developing strategic content.
Said Rajat Mishra, CEO of Prezent, “I am tremendously proud to welcome these remarkable individuals to the Prezent organization. We know that the success of Prezent is thanks to the tireless efforts of our remote-first team, and our latest team leaders will add remarkable value and strategic insights to help propel us forward into the next stage of growth.”
Prezent is an AI-powered enterprise communication platform that offers a way to produce corporate materials with character and help professionals retain and refine their understanding of the craft.
‘Strong Economic Growth Ahead’
According to Jason Wright, the CEO of Avatar Managed Services, who acquired the business in 2020 and has since increased the workforce from four to 16, he feels “blessed” to be in a business poised for strong economic growth no matter who was elected president.
“We are helping our customers drive revenue growth and be more efficient in the AI era,” said the entrepreneur in his interview with CRN. “We are poised for growth because of the big impact technology has on productivity. I wasn’t waiting with bated breath to see who would win because I see strong economic growth ahead for us no matter who is in the White House.”
