- Ben Taylor-Lessons In Consequence
In this episode, Tonje talks to Ben Taylor, MSc PhD pharmacoepidemiologist and healthcare executive about how the last year has been for him both professionally and personally, about lessons in consequence, failure and success creativity and science, about systems and building teams and longing for the sparkle outside of it all. Ben is the Vice President at Aetion, Inc, a New-York-based health technology company. His work at Aetion has been instrumental in the fight against COVID19 since March, from understanding the effectiveness of early drug combinations in hospitalized patients, to now designing long-term safety studies in the US as vaccines roll out to our population.
1 hr 44 min - Shelley Armistead-Going Above and Beyond for What We Care AboutIn this first episode Tonje talks to Shelley Kleyn Armistead, Partner & Chief Operating Officer of The Gjelina Group about going above and beyond for what we care about and how the ultimate creative goal is to create an experience that reflects love, passion and purpose. Born in South Africa, Shelley left Cape Town at the age of 23 - She made her way to California via London, where food sourcing, food politics, and the social justice aspect of her love of hospitality formed deep roots while working with Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers of The River Cafe. Additionally, Shelley worked for Terrance Conran, and Soho House for 12 years. In 2008 she moved to LA to open Cecconis West Hollywood, and Soho House West Hollywood. All these experiences shaped Shelley's passion for space, product design, and the care of humans, as it all relates to hospitality. "I believe my journey within this industry, and myself, is to find the interconnectivity of all components of it. In some cases that means dissecting your philosophy and seeing if it applies in all areas of your work: celebrating humans who do the work, and seeing hospitality in all acts not just the traditional. Dissecting it has meant really looking at how this industry has contributed to the abuse of people, and what systems are in play within my own company."1 hr 25 min

About The Her Platform Podcast
From the publisher's feed
We have cultivated a platform for inspirational, innovative, and mold-breaking women to share their stories, on everything from personal breakthroughs to professional triumphs, as a way to inspire…
people in their own lives. We believe that this type of interaction between women is more crucial than ever in today's political climate and increasingly isolated environments in which we live. There are many ways in this world to be a woman, and it is through sharing these experiences that help us feel less alone. We can find the extraordinary rooted in topics that seem ordinary. We can find common threads that connect women in communities across the world. By getting together, we can see glimpses of ourselves in each other's stories.
