Episode 74 - Suze Shardlow

In this week's episode, Richard talks to Suze Shardlow, marketer, coder, published tech author, speaker and event emcee! Suze is the Developer Community Manager at Redis. In this conversation Suze offers really great insight in to the relationship between sales and DevRel and how you have to be really careful in your organisation not to position DevRel as just another part of the sales funnel because nothing turns off developers and damages a community of developers as trying to sell to them directly! We also discover how Suze got started in public speaking and the differences she sees between delivering a talk at an event and acting as emcee. Listen to this chat to get a very good understanding of how your organisation could think about DevRel and its DevRel strategy.
