Emily Stewart is the Client Success Director in Mobility Technology for EQUUS Software. Her global experience and unconventional path into mobility – complete with red-eye flights, missed sleep, and a cameo from her five-year-old son Jamie – make for a fascinating listen.
We explore the Human Edge: how technology can enhance global mobility not by replacing people, but by helping teams be more human in what they do. Emily shares insights from her career, including supporting mobility for people with disabilities, and shows how tech and data can improve the employee experience and free up teams to focus on what really matters.
We also unpack the balancing act between automation and empathy, lessons in change management, and getting ready for the metaverse.
