In the tech world, it’s important to build technologies that solve a problem, rather than looking for problems that can be solved by the technology we build. In this episode, Ann chats with Lorna Martyn, Ireland Site Lead and Senior VP, Technology Management at financial services company, Fidelity Investments.Watch the video of the interview here⁠.About the series:What makes a good leader? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Silicon Republic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, in partnership with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IDA Ireland⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, presents a series of conversations with leaders at the helm of iconic multinationals in the areas of technology, engineering, life sciences and fintech to get invaluable insights on leadership, on emerging technologies and on the future for their sectors.

Even when you’re in the business of making some of the most advanced computer chips in the world, people are still at the centre of everything you do. That’s according to Ruth Cotter, Senior Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer at US semiconductor giant AMD. Ruth joins Ann in this episode of The Leaders’ Room to discuss people-centred leadership through periods of growth in a competitive and high-tech sector. Watch the video of the interview here⁠.About the series:What makes a good leader? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Silicon Republic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, in partnership with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IDA Ireland⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, presents a series of conversations with leaders at the helm of iconic multinationals in the areas of technology, engineering, life sciences and fintech to get invaluable insights on leadership, on emerging technologies and on the future for their sectors.
