How will COVID-19 change digital, diversity and inclusion?
We talk to Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE, Head STEMette and keynote speaker
This is the second episode of Starts at the Top, a new podcast hosted by Zoe Amar and Paul Thomas. It’s about how leaders from all sectors are using digital to navigate uncertainty and forge a path to the future.
This week Zoe and Paul are joined by Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE, Head STEMette, visiting Professor at the University of Sunderland, keynote speaker and a renowned champion and inspiration for women looking to find a role in the world of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
We talked about diversity and inclusion, gender and leadership, the role of tech during and after COVID-19, getting young people into STEM and the ethics of big tech. Anne-Marie was incredibly thought provoking on these issues. She also shares her recommendations for books and TV shows!
