Concurrency is a podcast about leadership across technology, design and policy in our contemporary world. With design, tech and policy being intrinsically intertwined within modern society, the future progress of our collective success will be greatly impacted and influenced by leaders in these fields. Concurrency of Leadership is a podcast that explores everything from the impact of AI ethics on the climate crisis and democracy to how inclusive design is shaping the future of work and product design. Often important discussions occur in silos, where the opportunity for connections between these topics could be creating a positive impact. Through a series of conversations, Ve, a designer by trade but instinctually a connector with 15+ years working with and for iconic F500 companies and brands from design to technology, will sit down with 2 -3 leaders from across technology, design and policy, to discuss, from their perspective as leaders, what they feel is required to help drive substantial change and how the needed transformations can be achieved.
