Talking with Tech Leaders
Talking with... Jem Anderton, Chief Architect at Student Loans Company
For this episode of Talking with Tech Leaders, we’re talking Architecture. And there are few more qualified to talk about the subject than Jem Anderton. As the Chief Architect at the Student Loans Company, he’s a member of the Technology Group leadership team, heads up a team of 25 architects and plays a key role in modernising an organisation with more than 8m customers.
Together with host Michael Phair, Jem chats through the journey to his current role – charting a 20-plus-year career across both the public and private sector, including the likes of ACCA, Heineken and Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council. He also discusses the discipline of architecture and talks about the challenges and rewards of building and leading teams. And, as ever, we get to know the personality behind the tech leader, with a quickfire round of personal questions too.
Jem is just the kind of tech leader we love speaking to – experienced, engaging and ready to share his insights. It’s a great listen: enjoy!
