Talking with Tech Leaders
Talking with... Loral Quinn, CEO of CodeClan
As you might expect, we are huge fans of CodeClan. After all, they’re in the business of bringing talent into Scotland’s tech sector, and that’s something that drives us every day in our recruitment day jobs. So it’s a real privilege to have CEO, Loral Quinn, as our guest for episode 29 of Talking with Tech Leaders.
We take a tour of Loral’s career, chatting through her brief roles in advertising and music management in London and, following her return to Edinburgh, her time with Aberdeen Asset Management. She tells us about her experiences of co-founding Sustainably, a charitable giving app which won multiple industry awards, including Richard Branson’s startup of the year 2019. And she shares some of her plans for the future of CodeClan.
Much like Karen Meechan in our last episode, Loral is someone passionate about closing the tech skills gap in Scotland. She tells us about some of the great work CodeClan are doing to do just that, with some fantastic stories of careers remade in the tech sector. Get listening and get inspired...
