In looking for someone with the ability to think laterally, to be prepared for newness and being ready to answer whatever is thrown at her, I could not be talking to a better person.
Sally talks openly about her background and life to date. From growing up on a sheep farm in New Zealand, to working with blue chip companies in the USA. Sally's thoughtful insights on matters as diverse as the challenges facing female founders when trying to get investment and support, to the role of AI in providing empathic care for our elderly to her thoughts on where advances in our lifetime will take us.
Sally is fascinating and I was very grateful for her time, energy, enthusiasm, and willingness to have a transparent conversation.
