People and tech must work hand in hand to enable the future.

In a world of rising customer expectations, the need for companies to stay ahead of the competition has never been more critical. However, is tech innovation in Australia doing all that it can?

Mina, who has worked at Uber and Google, explores how companies build products and what is holding Australians back from seizing job opportunities in tech.

Recently pioneering an entirely new product category for the real estate industry, Mina unpacks why people and tech must work hand in hand for tangible change.
