This is the first interview in an ongoing series of Corporate Conversations brought to you by Freedom Street.

My colleague Chris McGirr and I are interviewing corporate decision makers and other thought leaders about how freelance executives, consultants and small business owners can pivot their business offerings, services and approach to the sudden "new world of work" we find ourselves in.

Each interview is intended to give you timely insights about what's happening in organizations today, and what corporate decision makers need and want from external service providers.

In this interview, we are talking with Naomi Titleman Colla.
