Talking with Tech Leaders
Talking with... Kirsty McIntosh, Head of Partnerships at the Scottish Tech Army
Our latest episode is all about the power of tech to do good for our communities, as we meet Kirsty McIntosh of the Scottish Tech Army. The charity was founded during the pandemic to bring tech-savvy volunteers together with third-sector organisations in need of support – on everything from managing websites to bolstering cyber security. With over 2,500 volunteers supporting 300 organisations (so far!), it’s vital work.
Together with host Michael Phair, Kirsty discusses the Tech Army’s activities, growth and impact – as well as her role as Head of Partnerships. As ever, we also get to know the person behind the role, charting Kirsty’s journey through the tech sector and into her current position as a tech leader. And, finally, Michael puts Kirsty on the spot with a few personal questions around her motivations and recommendations.
All in all, it’s a great episode – we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did producing it!
