We had a special visitor at Yammer’s London office earlier this morning: His Royal Highness, the Duke of York, stopped by while on a visit to Tech City, a technology hub located in East London.

Yammer Co-founder and General Manager Adam Pisoni hosted the Duke together with Joanna Shields, CEO of Tech City, in our office where he met a selection of entrepreneurs and company founders who have chosen Tech City as the place to imagine, start and grow their businesses.

While in Tech City, the Duke of York spoke about how the United Kingdom’s Royal Family are “early adopters of technology,” including Yammer.
