Senior Manager- Experience Design

Capgemini

As a leader, my core job is to give my teams context, not chores. That is the mechanism by which people grow and truly own the work they deliver.

Society'schangeislargelythroughdigitalcommunication, andtechnology'sinteractionisalsoevolving.Technology, inthepast,wasonlyusedtoprovideuswithinformation. Now,weinteractwithtechnology,andveryoftenthiswill makeusreflectonourusageofit.Buttherapidlychanging andcomplicateddigitalworldmaysometimeshinderthe recognitionoftherealadvantagesoftechnology
