You might be curious about the name, well, I wanted to create a relaxed and informal environment, much like finding a hidden speakeasy, a space for genuine connection and unfiltered conversation.
My role has offered me a fascinating front-row seat to the discussions and decisions that shape the tech landscape and personally, I have a real appreciation for a good dram. So I thought I'd blend the two together and introduce its nuanced world to those who might not have experienced it.
I'm also eager to break down the outdated notion that whisky is solely a "man's drink" confined to the boardroom. This series is about shared stories, diverse perspectives, and enjoying a rich experience together, regardless of your drink of choice or background.
So, whether you're a seasoned whisky enthusiast or completely new to it, get comfortable. This is your glimpse behind the curtain, offering a taste of the wisdom often shared in pivotal rooms, all while we enjoy a virtual dram together.
Pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink and welcome to Data & Drams.

My role has offered me a front-row seat to the discussions and decisions that shape the tech landscape. What I've learned is that leadership isn't some distant peak, but rather a journey navigated by relatable individuals, each with their own unique story. This series is about sharing those journeys, insights, and the strategies that have propelled these leaders to success.
I've observed firsthand that while the tech industry thrives on innovation, there can sometimes feel like a barrier to entry when it comes to career advancement and leadership. Many talented individuals see these roles as somehow out of reach. My aim with Data & Drams is to break down that perception. I want to offer you a seat at the table, metaphorically speaking, by bringing you into these conversations.
We'll delve into the personal stories behind the professional achievements, uncovering the challenges, triumphs, and crucial lessons learned along the way.

We'll distill the key takeaways so you can savour and use them immediately. Plus, we'll do it all in a relaxed atmosphere, more like having a drink at a speakeasy, than a formal interview.
