- Krish GaliHi Brent, I would love to get on a call with you to talk about our investments on these fronts
1. Better access to groups that matter to you
2. Access to groups shared resources
We are making a ton of investments on these two for Outlook mobile so that the groups experiences shines through. Please send me an email so we can figure out the times that we can talk.
Thanks,
Krish
