Neil Casey: Driving Social Justice

In this episode, we sit down with the incredibly accomplished Global Head of Sourcing and Strategic Hiring at ThoughtWorks, Neil Casey!

 

Neil opens up with impressive honesty about his career journey which spans a number of exceptional roles for awe-inspiring organisations, the professional failure that he now considers to be the best thing to have happened having paved the foundations for everything he's gone on to achieve since, as well as his passion for championing social justice, driving regional change and leveraging globalisation to empower new careers and technologies.

 

ThoughtWorks, a Global Software Consultancy once ranked by Forbes as the hardest Tech company to get hired by, are emphatic in their commitment to looking at how technology impacts the community around them, striving to make technology more accessible and inclusive, having an acute awareness of privilege and maintaining the pursuit of social justice that's built into ThoughtWorkers DNA.

 

We discuss an array of pertinent social topics at the forefront of ThoughtWorks agenda, the phenomenal growth of the Manchester Tech scene, the importance of self-reflection when encountering a seeming failure, the 2020 trends Neil foresees disrupting the Tech and Recruitment industries and why he's "prepared to do today what no one else is so that tomorrow he can do what no one else can"!
