Let’s face it, a show about the Tech Sector in Scotland probably should’ve had Karen Meechan on a whole lot sooner. As the CEO of ScotlandIS, she has an insight and understanding of our world that few others do. She knows the country’s challenges, problems and priorities when it comes to IT & Digital jobs – which this episode well worth your time, all by itself.
But, it just so happens that Karen’s own story is pretty inspirational too. Having left school to jump straight into the workplace via a YTS (the modern apprenticeship of its day), she has truly worked her way up in tech – including spending almost two decades with ScotlandIS, taking on the mantle of CEO in 2021.
As she says, it’s the kind of role she never dreamed about as a child. But it’s a role we think she was born for: you simply won’t find anyone more passionate about the tech sector in Scotland. (Especially when it comes to opening doors to fantastic career paths for bright young minds.)
We’re delighted she could join us – it’s a fantastic and fascinating chat.
