In their words…
The Nomad Futurist podcast is designed to explore the evolution of technology and society and to inspire younger generations to select critical infrastructure and related technologies as a career path. Guest technology leaders are invited to discuss not only the innovative work that they do but also the fascinating personal journeys that brought them to where they are today, providing insights into a world that is often not well understood. The bi-weekly episodes are candid and conversational in tone and cover a range of industry-specific topics in a way that cuts through complexity. They also examine the world we live in, including the challenges of living through a pandemic and preparing for a technology career that may not yet exist. See full Press Release
