#MVPbuzzChat with Vlad Catrinescu

In the 66th Episode of the #MVPbuzzChat interview series, I spoke with fellow Office Apps & Services MVP, Vlad Catrinescu (@vladcatrinescu), a SharePoint and Office 365 consultant, author, trainer, and blogger.

In this episode, Vlad and I cover solid ground, discussing his background in technology and current passion, which centers mostly around automation. We also talked about his blog (which you can find at https://absolute-sharepoint.com) and the value of education and certifications, which somehow led to a discussion of the “benefits” of Shadow IT and how it can sometimes act as an innovation-driver within the enterprise. I’ve never tried to put a positive spin on Shadow IT before, but it makes sense, doesn’t it?

If you would like to connect with Vlad, you can find him via Twitter and LinkedIn, and peruse his many Pluralsight courses, books available on Amazon, or the compendium of Microsoft 365 and Azure certification study guides available through his blog.

Additionally, this interview is available on the CollabTalk Podcast, which you can find on Soundcloud, iTunes, Stitcher, and Spotify!
