# Eric Boustouller Talks About Tech Trends and the Future of Work
Eric Boustouller, former head of Microsoft Western Europe and now a partner at C4 Ventures, shares his insights on the tech trends that are shaping the way we live and work. In this episode of “Welcome to the New Normal” by Powell Software, Eric discusses the management mindset required to make a successful transition to a hybrid work environment.
The pandemic accelerated the digitization process and forced companies to adopt new technologies such as video conferencing solutions, mobile devices, and network bandwidth. The foundations for these changes were already in place, but the pandemic led to their widespread adoption. Eric notes that the new normal is here to stay and that companies and employees will continue to work from both home and the office.
As a partner at C4 Ventures, Eric is involved in investing and mentoring tech companies. He discusses the themes that are impacting the future of work, including collaboration, project management, and remote HR. The legal tech industry is also booming, with innovations in search engines and employee engagement, performance management, and training.
