Tech Allies: The Conversation, a Tech Allies Podcast

What if the integration you were looking for was never two things to begin with? In this clip, one of our guests shares a moment on a sales call that stopped a customer mid-question, because the answer was not what anyone expected.

Tech Allies: The Conversation is a podcast built around one simple belief: the most powerful thing a leader can do is bring someone else along with them. Every episode goes beyond the title and into the story behind the person, what shaped them, what drives them, and why giving back matters to them.

Karen Campbell + Huston-Tillotson Mentorship

Karen Campbell, CISO at Texas A&M University, connected with us while seeking student mentorship opportunities. Despite her previous two-year effort to mentor at Huston-Tillotson University (HT), which had stalled in the communication process, she remained committed to making a difference.

We invited Karen to help strengthen our HT partnership. Working with the Tech Allies team and Professor Tommy Mouton, our program’s executive sponsor, she helped establish a robust framework for collaboration. Her involvement accelerated our mentorship initiatives at HT, leading to two successful sessions in 2023: a February workshop sponsored by ConsultNet and Mender, and a second session featuring her keynote address alongside LinkedIn training by IQ Clarity.
