Wunmi and Drew talk about the Centre for Social Impact Technology, a hub of private, government and community organizations solving wicked social problems that don't have owners - touching on digital equity, ethical AI, UN sustainability goals and how Calgary is tracking in these metrics.
Thank you for listening to the Leaders, Innovators and Big Ideas podcast, supported by Rainforest Alberta. The podcast that highlights those people who are contributing to and/or supporting the innovation ecosystem in Alberta.
Host: Wunmi Adekanmbi immigrated 10 years ago from Nigeria where she was a post-secondary instructor and researcher, and led a youth empowerment non profit. Wunmi is passionate about people, information and solutions - in that order. She is a strategist and a connector. Her greatest motivation is creating coherent value streams across organizational functional units using a systems thinking approach. She strives to inspire confidence and intentionality in leadership, equip teams to execute from a big picture perspective, and harness community inter-dependencies. Wunmi is the Organizer and host of Immigrant Techies Alberta, a tech enthusiast group for skilled immigrants who are in or are interested in pivoting to tech careers and startups.
Guest: Drew Thomas is an engagement and community coordination professional with a broad background in cultural, social and issues-based communities.
Drew is a focused and hardworking individual. He is happy to engage community members in any medium as he is deep diving into constituent management systems and ensuring the minutiae of measurement are managed.
Drew's experience in non-profit, governmental and community organizations has given him the opportunity to develop strong writing, copy editing, event planning, and project cycle experience.
