  • The QI Guy in Conversation with...Tom Geraghty
    Welcome to Season 2 of the podcast. This week I'm in conversation with Tom Geraghty. Tom is the founder of psychsafety.co.uk and Transformation Lead at Red Hat Open Innovation Labs. His first job title was “Experimentalist”, which set the tone for the rest of his career. He then made the move into technology, and many subsequent years of leadership roles has made Tom passionate about DevOps, psychological safety and generative leadership. Tom now focusses on digital and organisational transformation.
    Outside of work, Tom spends as much time as possible outdoors, and is studying for a Masters Degree in Global Health and Humanitarianism.
    You can learn more about Tom and his work by visiting psychsafety.co.uk or his personal website tomgeraghty.co.uk. You can also follow Tom on twitter at @tom_geraghty
