Coming Soon - Ann Fisher
You need to know this woman's name.
Ann Fisher famously founded the hugely successful Cambridge Tech Week. But not long before the first event took place, Ann was rushed to hospital and it was discovered that she had a huge brain tumour which had been slowly killing her. It almost did.
She bravely cheated the odds and is healthy and well, today.
We rewind through her astonishing, entrepreneurial career; from working in Finance, 'falling into' Recruitment and going on to Co-found an amazingly successful recruitment business. We also walk through how she started championing 'women in tech' when nobody else was; as Founder of Women4Technology.
In her role today as NED at St John's Innovation Centre and member of the campaign board at Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital, we find out how Ann is still a massively influential person in Cambridge.
This is a podcast not to be missed and we very much hope you will join us.
