In this International Women's Day special of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, Founder and CEO of Cynozure, is joined by Kavita Sandhu, Client Services Manager, and Jane Usoskina, Senior Solution Architect, for an honest conversation about careers, confidence and change in the data industry.
Together, they explore how data has shifted from a back-office reporting function to a strategic business capability and why that change is creating new opportunities for more diverse talent to thrive. They discuss the outdated idea of what it means to be 'technical', the growing importance of roles spanning strategy, governance, culture and architecture, and why better representation leads to better decisions.
The episode also tackles the realities women still face at work, from pay gaps and being the only woman in the room to the importance of mentorship, psychological safety and leadership that creates space for every voice to be heard.
As AI reshapes how organisations operate, this conversation is a timely reminder that the teams building the future must reflect the people they serve.
