Life After Project Online: Jeremy Cottino on the Business of Sports

The Business of Sports, and how tools like Project Online are used to make the games happen. Project Online is going away on September 30th, and we're marking the milestone with insights and discussions with senior leaders who have their stories to tell. We sat down this week with Jeremy Cottino, a 3x Microsoft MVP turned sports executive who has seen Project Management practices and technologies deployed to the International Olympic Committee, EUFA, AS Monaco, and the European Football Clubs Association. As Microsoft Project Online prepares to sunset, we’re looking past the software to find what really matters in the world of project management. In this episode, we talk with Jeremy about his career path that is as unconventional as it is inspiring. From software developer, to Microsoft MVP, consultant, blogger, technology strategist - to a leader in international sports. From the technical trenches of SharePoint and Project Server to the high-stakes, global stage of elite sports, Jeremy’s journey is a masterclass in adaptation. He shares his firsthand experience managing massive programs for the International Olympic Committee, AS Monaco, and the European Football Club Association. Whether it’s navigating the complexities of the Beijing 2022 Olympics or implementing systems to help fans safely return to stadiums during the pandemic, Jeremy reveals a fundamental truth: Tools change, but the discipline of a great PMO stays the same. 🌐 More on Life After Project Online: https://www.quantumedge.ai/lifeafterp...
