Update: Interview with Cisco Small Business, Interns from Italy, and a Feature on the Peggy Smedley Show

noHold has been up to some exciting stuff over the past couple weeks. Here's a quick update on what we've been up to...

1. We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Shawn Price, Sr. Manager of End-User & Collaboration Applications of Cisco, to talk to him about the internship program that he is spearheading. Here is a snippet from the introduction. 

"Cisco Small Business has been working with University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC) and its students on a cutting edge internship program that empowers students to learn about Cisco products, helps improve customer satisfaction and self-support, with the opportunity for students to earn money while obtaining college credit. The students that are part of this program additionally have room for advancement as well as the potential to become a Cisco employee in the future. 

Recently, noHold took some time to learn more about Shawn Price’s intern program at UC Santa Cruz in California; Shawn is Sr. Manager of End-User & Collaboration Applications at Cisco. One of the first of its kind, Mr. Price has spearheaded a project with an incredible Mission: 'We use students first, to promote education, and to give back. The program helps students develop and be successful. In addition, it helps Cisco develop additional support capabilities and it’s a win-win situation for our customers, for the students, and for Cisco.'"

2. In addition to getting an exclusive interview with Shawn about his internship program, at the beginning of the month we welcomed a few interns of our own here at noHold. To find out a little bit more about their experiences and what they are accomplishing at noHold, read the blog titled, "Traveling All the Way From Italy to the Silicon Valley, noHold Welcomes Interns for a Month."

3. To conclude the update, on August 12th, our CEO, Diego Ventura, had the privilege to be featured live on The Peggy Smedley Show, the voice of M2M and connected devices. Peggy and Diego sat down to talk about Virtual Agents, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet of Everything.
