I joined the agencies 20 years ago in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 attacks having studied science at University. I’d originally planned to have a career in the Financial sector, as it seemed like a natural progression for me from my uni course and I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. However, having started down that path, I quickly realised that I’d be more motivated by doing something more grounded in the public sector and with the opportunity to have a really varied career within one organisation. My research brought me to the organisations and after a 9-month recruitment process, I was offered a place on the generalist stream (sometimes referred to as the “Investigative stream”).

With over 3500 attendees, 50 plus speakers and almost 20 hours of content, Black Tech Fest 2021 was a massive success. We were thrilled to have attendees from companies including BBC, Tesco, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Heineken, Accenture, Google, Network Rail, Experian, KPMG, Lego and eBay. They tuned in from countries across the globe including Ghana, Nigeria, London, Australia, Singapore, the US, Netherlands and many more. With a jam-packed agenda over the three-day festival, attendees were treated to plenty of virtual sessions on topics ranging from VC funding and NFTs to allyship and white saviours.
