In this episode, I am joined by Dave Horton and Jamie Brown as we look back at our time working together at AirWatch. We discuss how workplace culture has evolved over the years, as a result of Brexit, the rise of technology and hybrid working.

AirWatch was founded in 2003 as Wandering Wi-Fi by John Marshall, who served as president and CEO. Ian Evans was the Managing Director for EMEA employing almost 250 people between 2011 and 2014 in Milton Keynes. AirWatch UK Limited was dissolved on 24 Apr 2018 with the company's final absorption into VMware as a business unit rather than a wholly-owned entity.

Dave Horton currently leads the Global Solutions Engineering for Odaseva. He is an experienced professional with 15 years in enterprise data protection, security engineering and solution architecture. Dave has consulted for the most complex and scalable organisations in the world.

Jamie Brown has a strong background in the technology industry, was one of the early starters with AirWatch, focusing on new business development and was pound for pound one of the most successful sales people at AirWatch. Since then, he has continued to excel in EUC sales, leveraging his expertise and passion for technology to drive success.

In this episode of Cyber Glass Ceiling, my guests are Michele Proctor, lead of the Security Cryptography team at NatWest PLC, and Alison Bailey, Programme Manager - Information Management at Lloyds Banking Group.

Michele has worked in technology for over 30 years, from COBOL programming to Platform Manager. Growing up in an army family and living abroad for much of her early life has opened her up to the diversities of people and cultures. Alison shares her experiences studying IT in South Africa during apartheid in the early '90s.

Alison was born in South Africa where she completed a Bachelor of Commerce degree before starting work as a mainframe assembler programmer and then moving into more of a project management, readiness and delivery focus. She continued with this upon arriving in the UK in 2000, working as both a consultant and a contractor over the years before becoming a permanent employee of Lloyds Banking Group. Her career at Lloyds has covered projects involving the integration of HBoS’s, and subsequent split out of TSB’s, customer systems and data and more recently being part of the Cyber team. This has included working with our Private Cloud provider on cyber security matters and setting up, onboarding and supporting a cohort to the Cyber Academy. Alison is currently the Product Owner for DigiCerts.

We discuss the importance of diversity and inclusion initiatives that have been made by their respective companies. We also delve deep into the challenges that neurodivergent people face in the IT industry and how embracing neurodiversity with innovative solutions can lead to improved team dynamics.

Tune in to be part of the conversation as we explore the journeys and powerful insights of these inspiring industry leaders.
