They say about me
Technoculture, Federica's podcast name itself tells you what you can expect from it. And yes, it's especially important to have a proper culture when it comes to technology development within an organization/society. This is one of the reasons which led me to host Federica on my podcast/show #SoLeadSaturday. And no doubt she is leading her area of expertise. Really had an awesome time and conversation with her.
