Tech Talks

Today's show is a recording of a conversation held for our own internal Pride ERG (Employee Resource Group) focused on safe spaces online. Sarah Massey, co-founder of freeQ is our guest on the episode.

Is the internet safe? Is AI and it's impact on the queer community being fully understood? How can you help employees be their full 'self' at work?

On today’s show we’re joined by Bev White, technologist and CEO of Nash Squared. Having been an IT Director and board member across a number of businesses, Bev added her considerable experience and voice to the stage at this years’ London Tech Week. We’re exploring that session (‘thriving whilst scaling’), questioning London’s role as a global tech hub, and asking what we need to work on as a community moving forward.

Deel are helping workers in emerging markets gain employment with companies that previously may not have been able to present an opportunity. We met Dan in Rio (at Web Summit), and Latin America is one region with huge talent demands being placed on it. Why? We explore the reasons before David is joined by Angelica Mari (Forbes, BBC) from Sao Paulo to add local expertise and knowledge to the conversation.

Joe Baguley, CTO at VMware for EMEA is a returning guest, who has always offered insight on emerging tech, so it made sense to ask him about generative AI. Why? Because your dentist is talking about AI, and it's in the hands of people who don't understand the tech. So what are the steps of organisations looking to use the tools in a safe and sustainable way?

Nathan Hight cofounder Safe365 in 2016 after a life spent trying to keep people safe. From being a lifeguard in his early-teens he's had a passion to solve the problem that so many people go to work, and don't come home safely. Today's show explores that issue and how a scalable technology solution can help.

Dr Owain Rhys Hughes, CEO and founder of Cinapsis, talks to the podcast about his mission to help patients get better care from health services.

Cinapsis is helping to close the gap between primary and secondary care through advice and guidance, something we are all unfortunately impacted by at some point or other.

On today's show we welcome Louwki Coetsee, Group VP Sales & Client Value at Netsurit. His role is to understand how their clients’ current technical needs and help them plan for future needs. In a market that is rapidly evolving and hard to predict, that's harder than ever.

Honesty is the key to spark change. Today we're meeting Jawad Bhatti, founder of Spark. As employees continue to leave their roles we look at the impact of poor mental health and how it can be fought back against.

Today we're talking about mental health with Alena's CEO and founder Mandana Ahmadi. "When you're ill, you just want to get better", and that's the mission Mandana and her team are on through the use of data and computational neuroscience.

Joining the podcast today is Jared Mabry, VP Digital Patient Experience at HCA Healthcare. Here he shares his personal perspective following 5 years working in the UK, before heading home to the USA a year ago.

Where in the UK there is a work to live culture, Jared suggests the US is a live to work culture. What does that mean for leaders trying to create a caring, human environment and heed the lessons of the pandemic?
