Principal Client Manager | Client Relationship Management & Growth | Talk to me if you need support with your recruitment!
Had a great day yesterday at #DIGITWest by DIGIT.FYI - really busy hall with some great stands, and some very interesting chats: Andrew Strain from AAC Clyde Space and Hazel Jeffrey from Craft Prospect delivered a great presentation on Space Tech - a lot of it went over my head but it gave an incredible overview of what space and satellite technology can actually bring (and after trying to explain the gist of it to my 5 year old son, his interest in space has grown 10 fold!). Caroline McDowall led a brilliant panel talking about building technical teams, being a leader, DEI, the importance of a strong company culture, and avoiding burnout (not recovering from it!) with Shalini Goyal, Rich Wilson, Myra Fulton and Lianne McGrory. It's important to remember that the people leading are also people, that can make human errors while balancing the needs of the teams with that of the business. I then also sat in on a panel discussion about Data Innovation and building data teams, where Robin Huggins, Euan Wielewski, Elizabeth Hollinger, Athena Zitrou and Mark Hunter discussed attracting data talent in the fast-changing world of data and machine learning. Really interesting to hear the difference in approach to data from newer companies built around data vs more established, larger, corporations. Also lovely, as always, to catch up with some familiar faces! Looking forward to the next one 😊 PS. I did take some pictures but they are all either too specific or not in focus! #DigitExpo #DigitExpoWest #Event
