We’re excited to welcome our next guest: one of the UK’s best known tech entrepreneurs turned public servant, Martha Lane Fox.
From co-founding Lastminute.com to championing digital accessibility and innovation in the House of Lords, Martha has been at the forefront of tech-driven change for over 25 years.
In this episode we ask: in a world where Musk, Bezos et al. are so often in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, what does a good billionaire look like? And how can we move away from digi washing to ensure our rising reliance on tech is a force for good?
Mary Rose and Martha lift the lid on how AI could be the answer to digital exclusion, why Mackenzie Scott’s radical approach to philanthropy could be the silver bullet that the sector has been waiting for and what philanthropists could learn from the world of private investors.
