Tech CEO Secrets - From Service Desk to CEO with Chris Piggott Artwork

Experts In Polo Shirts

The tech podcast where Synextra's technical Experts in Polo Shirts talk about what's actually happening in enterprise technology, not what the vendors want you to believe.

Each episode features different members of the Synextra team—from Azure specialists and security professionals to developers and infrastructure architects—discussing the latest developments and real-world challenges in cloud, security, AI, and the broader tech industry. These are the people who spend their days implementing enterprise solutions, locking down networks, and testing whether the latest tech lives up to the hype (spoiler: sometimes yes, often no).

Whether we're breaking down industry news, sharing how we solve problems in our own business, or exploring emerging technologies, every conversation comes from the implementation trenches, not the executive suite. We discuss what works, what doesn't, and why—with the honesty that comes from practical experience.

If you want honest tech talk that sounds like the conversations already happening in your IT department—just better informed—you're in the right place.
