>>>Mike Mastro is President and CEO of The Primas Group, a software development, technology solutions, and professional services provider for contact center companies. Primas CX turns call centers into omni-channel contact centers without the hassle and expense of a major upgrade to existing systems or moving to the cloud. The innovative package includes 20 world-class CX apps that can be implemented affordably in just a few days. Primas CX can be a perfect “middle ground” option that allows call centers to dramatically improve their customers’ experience, improve agent morale/performance, and positively impact contact center operations without changing their technology. Clients may choose the whole package or just the apps they need to provide the utmost customer service. In June 2023, Primas launched an advanced AI-based chatbot, combining ChatGPT technology with Primas’s own chatbot solution. The resulting chatbot platform learns content on a client’s website and utilizes that information to generate responses or provide assistance based on user queries. Mike has led Primas Group since 1994. Previously, he was a Sales Manager for Periphonics, selling IVR solutions in the southwest U.S. and worked in R&D for InteCom. Mike has joined the Orange County Round Table.

Re-Cap of Mimi’s Recent Participation at the FUTURES Exhibit at the Smithsonian
Mimi recently participated in the “Living Longer Festival: Health + Wellness 2050,” held at the Smithsonian Arts & Industries Building on the National Mall. Here, Mimi shares a brief photo journal, with captions, of her incredible experience.

MedWand’s Co-Founders, Bob Rose, CEO, and Samir Qamar, MD, CMO, were frequently seen on-hand answering questions from the 12,000 visitors who toured the Exhibit on “Solstice Saturday,” when several of the Smithsonian museums, including AIB, stayed open late – some till midnight.
Later, I had the honor of moderating an outstanding panel of experts, supplemented with questions from the audience who “Interrupted Your Regularly Scheduled Panel” throughout “WIYRSP: Living Longer in the Future.” To kick it off we introduced “Elizabeth,” a great grandmother, who was captured on her grandson’s iPhone for the masses when she demonstrated her impressive moves as she got down to Bruno Mars at her 100th birthday party surrounded by friends and family…
