Episode 176: How has COVID-19 Accelerated Digital Transformation? Hear from Société Générale's CIO

This week we chat with Claire Calmejane, Chief Innovation Officer at Société Générale, one of Europe's leading financial services groups. Throughout her career, Claire has also been a fantastic advocate for women in technology, as well as providing support to the startup community in the UK and France. 

I had the pleasure of first working with Claire a couple of years ago at our AI in Finance Summit in London, so it was great to hear more about the work she's been doing in digital transformation and innovation since then, especially the challenges and opportunities that have arisen due to the current global pandemic.

Topics explored included:

* What’s it like to lead innovation at Société Générale? What does your job role require of you?

* What impact has the current pandemic had on your role?

* What role will innovation play in the current COVID-19 world?

* Has COVID-19 accelerated the implementation of new trends and transformations in the financial services sector?

* What would you say you look for as key qualities when hiring? What advice would you give to those listening who are looking to move into a tech career?
