About the Podcast

Tech Life Stories
Welcome to Tech Life Stories.

We go behind the scenes each week interviewing tech leaders to understand the journey they have been on and how they got to where they are today.

I will be finding out about why they got into tech, their current and previous roles, the largest transformation they have been part of, the most influential person in their career or life, what they would change if they could go back in time, where they see tech and how we get there, any more more questions.

Remember, it's not what people think of you when you first start, it's what people think of you when you finish.
