Our guest in this episode is Holly Joint, who was born and educated in the UK, but lives in Abu Dhabi in the UAE.
Holly started her career with five years at the business consultancy Accenture, and then worked in telecomms and banking. The latter took her to the Gulf, where she then spent what must have been a fascinating year as programme director of Qatar’s winning bid to host the 2022 World Cup. Since then she has run a number of other start-ups and high-growth businesses in the Gulf.
Holly is currently COO of Trivandi and also has a focus on helping women to have more power in a future dominated by technology.
Calum met Holly at a conference in Dubai this year, where she quizzed him on-stage about machine consciousness.
