Green IT, nominate top tech women – Computer Weekly Downtime Upload podcast
Summary
Caroline Donnelly, Clare McDonald and Brian McKenna discuss the CW IT sustainability think-tank, the launch of the Most Influential Women in UK Technology 2022 list, and Lambeth Council in the cloud In this episode, Caroline Donnelly, Clare McDonald and Brian McKenna talk about the new Computer Weekly IT sustainability think-tank, the launch of the Most Influential Women in UK Technology 2022 list, and Lambeth Council’s modernisation of its business applications stack. One was with Gartner research director Annette Zimmerman about reducing the carbon emissions of IT hardware, and the other was with Shawn Edwards, chief technology officer at Bloomberg, about the changes he has seen over two decades in corporate IT. Also, about applying more consistency to our IT sustainability editorial programme, in the same way as Clare McDonald and other CW colleagues do with our ongoing focus on women in IT, and diversity and inclusion. Cliff Saran and Sebastian Klovig Skelton are also notable CW writers on this topic, the former often from a hardware perspective, and the latter from an ethical supply chain angle, focused on rare earth metals, and the human toll the mining of those takes. Another Computer Weekly venture that is growing, and has grown a great deal over the past decade, is the Most Influential Women in UK Technology list that we do in partnership with recruitment and talent firm Spinks.
