Is their career journey what they expected?
How did they end up where they are today?
Which tech, digital and media skills have helped them along the way?
Due to being in the midst of the digital revolution, the job market and the skills required have rapidly changed, so come along to find out what it really takes to succeed in a 21st century career.
