Diary of a CTO

This week I discuss how Apple & Google are working together to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. I explain how the system will work and what it means for us as users of the system. I also talk about how the NHS is using this technology to help with the fight against the coronavirus.

With everything that's going on we need to take a breath and see the wood through the trees. In this podcast I discuss how we have found new opportunities despite the difficult situation we are all in. We've also had our best month to date by pivoting and repositioning our product. Lastly, I discuss how students have a great opportunity in front of them and what to do to maximise it.If you want to get in touch with me then send me an email to [email protected]. Stay safe.

It's been a busy couple of weeks pitching Collctiv to potential investors. I talk about our journey and the unexpected surprise of pitching in front of WeWork co-founder Miguel McKelvey.As a tech leader and business owner it's hard to find time to do everything so how do we as leaders prioritise our time and what do we spend it on.

A lot happened in the tech world this week so I cover a number of tech updates including Windows 7 & Microsoft Edge. I talk about privacy and when do we give up our right to privacy, what can we learn from other businesses on how they manage privacy. Lastly I discuss device management and whether you should outsource your IT and the pitfalls to avoid when choosing a Managed Service Provider.
