Session: Innovation through the lens of new technologies

I'm often asked how I got the job I have. I'm also often told it's a cool job. I'd like to pull back the curtain on all of that and share my experience and career journey, talking about some of the innovation successes and what it takes to realise them.


Key Takeaways

  • What it takes to work in corporate innovation
  • How to get a job in corporate innovation
  • How innovation happens in large corporations
