Meet the content team behind the Monitor

We also wanted to step out from behind the screen and introduce ourselves, so you can get to know the content team behind the BetterCloud Monitor.

Scott Solomon, Strategic Content Manager:

Hi, I’m Scott! I’ve been reading, writing, and breathing technology for the past four years. I produce our online event series Cloud IT Live, lead the research behind our Trends in Cloud IT and State of Cloud IT reports, and write for the BetterCloud Monitor.

I am also a very happy Atlanta Falcons fan.

Articles I’ve written:

• Trends in Cloud IT: G Suite vs. Office 365 and the Meteoric Rise of SaaS Applications
• Here’s How We Took Advantage of Shadow IT and Rolled Out Slack
• The Rising Tide: How One IT Team Redefined Emergency Communications
• Here’s How IT Helped Reinvent the Brand Behind This Growing Company

Christina Wang, Editor:

Hi there! I manage the Academy section of our site, so I’m always on the hunt for useful productivity tips and tricks to share with you. I also manage our “Modern Workplace Innovator” video series and write longform IT content for the BetterCloud Monitor. I especially love writing about leadership and communication. You may have seen my “How to Communicate IT Concepts to Non-IT Minded People” series.

When I’m not writing about IT, you can find me listening to true crime podcasts, knitting, and eating cheeseburgers.

Some articles I’ve penned:

• How the IT Guy Became the “It Guy”: The Evolving Portrayal of Tech Professionals in Movies and Television
• Getting Things Done vs. Getting the Right Things Done: How IT Professionals Can Be More Productive
• How to Get Recognition and Elevate the Perception of IT in Your Workplace
