We have been connected for some time, and I think I met Susan for the first time at Big Data London 2022 and we recorded 4 questions as a mini 66. So here she is elaborating further on 62 questions! :-) Susan needs no real introductions from me! We had a great conversation, had a lot of fun and of course you can’t see it, but in the background, there was her favourite icon – Robbie! She even remembers when she broke her leg at 18 months old! She’s a self-confessed southern softie but still has her roots in Scotland! I hope you enjoy this episode please do like, share, and comment, and enjoy listening to Susan. Behind every data leader there is a person and here is Susan unplugged.
