Podcast Details
For Episode #3 of the One Zero One podcast, we had the opportunity to talk all things ‘Tech for Good’ with Ellen Ward, the Head of IT Systems (Interim) at Concern Worldwide. The mission of Concern is to end extreme poverty. In 2018, Concern Worldwide reached 11.5 million people through their emergency response. 17.6 million people were reached through their health interventions. Ellen shared with us the challenges and rewards of working in an IT function of such an important organisation, and how important it is to balance innovation with stability when delivering urgent services in the most fragile communities globally. We also learned about the ‘Tech for Good Dublin’ initiative that Ellen co-founded.
