Raymond Lai, Author/ CTO, This is Professional Services

Raymond is the quintessential client-facing nerd: Work with tech and non tech teams and can understand the lingo from all sides. He has been a developer (many moons ago), a professional services consultant, project manager, a leader, a blogger and most recently, co-founder of a software startup (which is just a fancy way of saying Raymond does a little bit of everything). He is a huge proponent for building teams that are functionally dysfunctional - a group of people who will argue, agree, and ultimately achieve great things together. You can find Raymond at www.thisisprofessionalservices.com.
