The hotly debated issue of women in tech, and Rosie’s experiences of this in the US/ SF context versus NZ. How to grapple with being a ‘squiggler’ in a world / talent environment which is demanding straight liners How to juggle being with the here + now, whilst being an ardent futurist The opportunities in neuroscience, tech + mental health/wellnessWhere NZ sits on the spectrum of being a Future of Food leader or vanguardThe jobs + salary debacle one faces coming back into the NZ marketRosie is a multifaceted Future Foods Expert, comms specialist, vinyasa yoga teacher and neuroscience lover, now based in NZ after her time in Silicon Valley. Her schtick is in the FoodTech arena, specifically in plant-based and ‘Alternative Protein’ systems. She’s a regular on the speaking circuit (including TEDx) on the future of food and agriculture and has lived between San Francisco and New Zealand throughout her dynamic transitions in the tech space. Rosie is wildly passionate about driving a sustainable, progressive and scalable global food system, fit for a growing world. Her latest obsession is around the intersection of neuroscience x food, and the areas in which humans are not going to be out-roboted in an increasingly automated world.
