Welcome to Season 2, Episode 29 of The Full Circl Podcast!
Today we’re joined by Sian John who is a technology executive, security strategist, keynote speaker & classical studies enthusiast. Sian talks about her unconventional career journey, and emphasises the importance of pursuing what sounds interesting rather than following a strict plan.
Sian first worked in IT in the public sector, discovering an interest in security while fixing vulnerabilities at the Houses of Parliament. She then moved to the private sector, and eventually found her way into security consulting, pre-sales, and landed roles at Symantec and Microsoft before joining NCC Group.
She encourages individuals transitioning to tech careers to not be fazed by the change and not to listen to gatekeepers, emphasising the importance of passion, curiosity, and self-study.
The Full Circl Podcast takes a closer look into the lives and stories of aspirational leaders worldwide.
A range of powerful themes are explored throughout each episode such as; the powerful stories of these Leaders, their pathway to success, and advice to Future Leaders.
