With just a couple of episodes left in season four, we rounded up some insights from the first six episodes’ leaders. This series is created in partnership with IDA Ireland.
Once again in season four of The Leaders’ Room podcast, we get to know the leaders of some of the most influential multinationals in tech, life sciences and innovation, as well as getting insights into their leadership styles and the high-tech trends they see coming down the line.
While the final couple of episodes are still in production, we thought we would take advantage of the short break to look back at some of the insights from Season 4 so far.
So far this season, we have featured Graham Abell from Workday, David Silke from Centripetal, Tom Parsons from Tenable, Rathnait Long from Macom Technology Solutions, and – most recently – Cathy Kearney from Apple.
They all shared lots of interesting insights and updates from their organisations, so we pulled together just a small flavour of the chats we had. Three themes in particular arose this season – leadership and talent of course, and unsurprisingly, artificial intelligence (AI).
We’ve welcomed lots of multinational companies on The Leaders’ Room over four seasons, all with a strong presence here in Ireland, and a recurring theme has been that talent is Ireland’s superpower these days.
We’ve been mindful in each series to widen the net and ensure we’re talking to leaders’ with bases in the regions too and not just Dublin, and most are highly engaged with where they are based. That comes through here as well.
Episode seven will be released in coming weeks. We’re grateful to all our interviewees again this season, for taking the time out of busy schedules to come into the studio and share their insights and their intelligence with us. And a big thanks as ever to our partners IDA Ireland who make this series possible.
