This month we welcome tech pioneer, entrepreneur, and digital inclusion advocate, Martha Lane Fox as the latest guest on ‘Brands Transforming Our World’!
From co-founding and floating Lastminute.com through surviving a horrific accident to championing digital accessibility and innovation within government and joining the board of a (pre-Elon Musk) Twitter, we can think of few UK businesspeople who’ve inspired so many within our industry.
Since selling Lastminute.com for over $1 billion, Martha has continued to be at the forefront of tech innovation in the UK. In the last 20 years, Martha has sat on the boards of several tech companies, including Twitter (until its acquisition by Musk), charities, and has taken a leadership role in the government digital service. And that just scratches the surface of all the organisations she has founded, led or advised.
Join us for episode seven as we dive into Martha’s remarkable journey.
